Celebrity Deaths 2020

I've been surprised by how emotional this made me feel today. It's like a little piece of my childhood is gone. I was 7 when he got the ROI job and 9 when Gary Mackay scored the most significant goal in our history (sorry), so I wasn't aware of the apathy that had gone before (soccer as it was most widely known, was, after all, the 3rd or 4th placed sport in Ireland). I grew up expecting Ireland to qualify for international tournaments, thanks to Jack. Good times and some great memories. May he rest in peace.

There's only 3 of the starting 11 from Ajax's 1st European Cup win still alive. Most of the deaths were cancer related and none as far as I can tell were from dementia. The goalkeeper Stuy is one of the 3 survivors.
