    I'd be amazed if Henry Hudson turns up after going missing in 1611 or is that just after ten past four?

    If we are talking about permanent disappearances rather than 80-0dd minutes during games (I can think of a few of those) what about that big media baron who supposedly fell of the back of his boat whilst suspected of financial monkey business a few years back?

    Robert Maxwell? They had his body, but it was unclear from the autopsy if he fell in or got whacked on the noggin first

    I thought Harold Bishop returned to Neighbours, it was all a dream like Bobby in Dallas.

    Harold came back and couldn't remember who he was at first. Think Madge sorted him out. Dee however, still hasn't appeared...

    What about collective disappearances? Like a Charlton team against the Spanners? There cannot be anything more Arthur C Clarke than that...

    Saw that, headlined 'Steve Finnan missing'.

    He probably doesn't think he is.

    A bloke I used to work for was watching tennis at Wimbledon when he got arrested because some sharp-eyed BBC viewer said they'd spotted Lucan in the crowd. I must say he was a dead ringer right down to the tash. Funny for us less so for him - he missed most of a semifinal!

    John Stonehouse Labour MP and minister did a Reggie Perrin and faked his own death. He was of course found and served time as a fraudster but not for being the communist spy he was!

    Ritchie didn't go missing. The singer suddenly got fat after his "disappearance". My theory is they ate him.

    I know it's a Jewish custom to bury the dead quickly but he told a waitress in a casino a few weeks before that he wanted to go missing because his life was unraveling. She said he was drunk at the time and didn't take too much notice.

    The arrogant crook and bully didn't seem to be the type to take his own life.

    The Birmingham City squad when Steve Bruce took over. They had 43 players in their squad registered that season. Not sure where they all are now. All I will say is look at how quickly Steve ballooned after his playing days.
