On this day 800 years ago, King of France (1180-1223) Philippe II ‘Auguste’ died aged 57.

My apologies. From now on I’ll be more thorough.

Well those deaths had not been announced in this topic nor in Time Added, so that’s why I’m doing it today.

2 others players from 1990 WC died more or less recently: Belgian Lei Clijsters died on 4 January 2009. He played 3 games. USSR player Valeri Broshin died on 5 March 2009. He was an unused substitute.

20 years ago, Cuban singer Máximo Muñoz aka Compay Segundo died aged 95. He was the subject of Wim Wenders documentary film Buena Vista Social Club in 1997 and gained international fame upon its release.

Louis-Paul M’Fédé, who represented Cameroon at the 1990 FIFA World Cup, died on 10 June 2013. He played all Cameroon 5 games.

Italian football player Christian Vieri is 50 today. He scored 259 goals in 525 matches. In 1996-1997 with Juventus, he won Serie A, UEFA Supercup and Intercontinental Cup, being an unused substitute in the latter. In 1997-1998, with Atlético Madrid, he became La Liga pichichi, being the first Italian to be top scorer of a Top 5 European league, the second and last one being Luca Toni in Bundesliga with Bayern in 2008. In 1998-1999 with Lazio he won the Cup Winners’ Cup scoring the opening goal of the final. He then spent 6 years at Inter, scoring 123 goals and being 2003 Serie A top scorer. He won the Coppa Italia 2005 with the Nerazzuri though he didn’t play the final. With Italy he scored 23 goals but didn’t win any honours, retiring in 2005, one year before their World Cup title.

Sorry, typo. Thanks for the warning.

His teammate at the 1974 WC, Ivo Rudić, died on 22 November 2009. He was an unused substitute.

I found this page. The birth date (1933 is mentioned as Dincer birth date in every website but English wiki) matches. Granted, it could be a namesake, and I didn’t find any other document mentioning Mehmet Dincer’s death.

American Actress Mindy Sterling is 70 today. She is best known for her role of Frau Farbissina in the Austin Powers movies. She also had roles in Friends, Joey and Desperate Housewives.

East German Werner Friese, who was at the 1974 World Cup, died aged 70 on 28 September 2016. He played the entire 6 games of East Germany.

Yes, she’s been kicked out of his house. Literally kicked out as she assaulted the bodyguards who where trying to remove her.

Guarneri and Mazzola (along with Brazilian Jair Da Costa) are the only survivors of the 1964 European Cup final, Inter first European title.

Ok I got it.

Most of the players you guys are talking about are British. What about football players from other countries ? Are they as much afflicted with dementia as well ? In France this is not (yet ?) an issue, I’ve not heard of any former player having dementia. But of course I just know the high profile players…

Mutulu Shakur, stepfather of the late rapper 2Pac has died aged 72 in prison where he was serving a 60 years sentence for his involvement in a robbery that killed two guards in 1981. He was arrested in 1986. He married 2Pac mother in 1975, 4 years after the rapper’s birth. 2Pac’s mother legally gave him Mutulu’s name, Shakur. 2Pac’s mother Afeni and Mutulu divorced in 1982. Afeni died in 2016 aged 69.

He died aged 97 years and 7 months. He was the longest lived Italy Prime Minister since 16 September 2021, when he surpassed Carlo Ciampi who died aged 95 years and 9 months.

He was the first Georgian to play in Premier League/First Division since Georgia’s independence in 1991.
