Jimbo 175 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Whilst watching the Shearer special on BBC last night I was stunned as to how frail the old boy is looking, i know he's recently had surgery for cancer again but he is really looking his age and has lost that twinkle in his eye. very sad.

Holden McGroin 6785 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 He is about 103 though. There is a board up in a pub around mine which has a list of the next celeb to die. Could be a decent bet. (bless his socks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless his wife is the North East's answer to Imelda Marcos I'd have thought he would have been loaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And pay Souness to bring him meals on wheels. In his daughters car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(bless his socks) 134738[/snapback] He's something like 74 is he not? Not that old by today's standards. Too old to work in footie management though.

luckyluke 2 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 He should retire tbh 134739[/snapback] Perhaps he cant afford to tbh. 134742[/snapback] As UM is fond of telling us, we paid him quite a bit in compensation. £2million I think, but I could be wrong. He should be taking it easy really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(like most older people...) 134778[/snapback] True, I'd rather live a full life for 70 or 80 years, than take it easy for an extra 10 or 20 years of incontinence.

Personally I'm retiring as soon as I can afford to. You need interests though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 He certainly looked as if age was catching up with him. He defied it for longer than most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Or those hobbies become your work, which I don't like, because I'm bad enough at taking the fun out of hobbies when they're just hobbies!
