"Astle" sounds like astull. Anyone notice this?

You have to pronounce the T - it sounds like "ass-tull". 194.176.201.10 14:42, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cause of death

Was it motor neurone disease? as I have set up a category for this here Ianguy 11:52, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

I don't think so - my understanding (you clearly know more about it than I do) is that motor neurone disease occurs naturally, whereas Jeff's condition was found to be caused by heading a football. Haydn01 14:44, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
