SlipperyP Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 On 14/01/2024 at 18:50, Miguel Sanchez said: Week 2 update One death this week, Franz Beckenbauer: Franz Beckenbauer, World Cup-winning captain and manager, dies aged 78 | Franz Beckenbauer | The Guardian The full obituary on the Guardian's site is also worth reading: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/jan/08/franz-beckenbauer-obituary I always enjoy pictures of old footballers, so here's one: It's not every day in the Dead Pool we have a country's undisputed best ever player featured, so whether you're old or like me you were born well after his playing days, it's worth doing some reading to see just how much he changed the way the game is played. There are names in football which are ubiquitous in that they're a byword for stature, reputation, style, whatever. Beckenbauer is that for most of the defensive half of the pitch. I don't know that a single individual can be as influential in football culture as that any more. Beckenbauer died at 78 so he's worth 47 Base Points for @parxyz, @psv_killie and @The_Craig, with @D Angelo Barksdale getting a Vice-Captain bonus for a total of 71 points. As a result, the standings look like this: 1. mozam76 189 2. lolls, Moomintroll, pub car king, Salvo Montalbano 163 6. psv_killie, The_Craig 141 8. cdhafc1874, lichtgilphead 129 10. amnarab, Arch Stanton, Ned Nederlander, sparky88, The DA, The Naitch, ThomCat 94 17.
