When he was manager at Sheffield Wednesday one of his players was Chris Bart-Williams, I've just read on the BBC that he died yesterday as well aged 49.

No age, that. Poor guy.

Yes, 69 is a bad omen! My dad, his dad and my mum's dad died at 69. As soon as I heard of his death and how old he was It gave me a little shudder. Even my brother, who's not superstitious, religious or anything like that said the other month when approaching his 65th birthday, "well, only 4 years to go eh".😦

I'm older now than either of my parents were when they died, and at least one of my grandparents. But all of them, smoked for most of their lives.

Still got a way to go to catch my other two known grandparents - the fourth one disappeared when my father was young, I have no idea how old he lived to.
