He did a Maradona Hand of God just to save Poland from that. http://amp.n-tv.de/sport/fussball/redelings_nachspielzeit/Das-beruehrende-Schicksal-des-Jan-Furtok-article22854399.html Jan Furtok has died at 62: https://www.kicker.de/jan-furtok-mit-62-jahren-verstorben-1070725/artikel 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Octopus of Odstock 2,263 Posted November 29, 2024 On 01/08/2023 at 08:01, whoismakoto said: Comprehensive list of Brazilian players who suffered from dementia dated 2016. I think only 2 players on the list are still alive: João "Zico" Dias, and Nair Jose da Silva. No wiki page for Zico but has a Zerozero profile. Nair Jose strangely only has Polish wiki page despite never playing in Europe. Nair died in 2018 - https://www.uol.com.br/esporte/futebol/ultimas-noticias/2018/08/22/morre-nair-ex-jogador-de-madureira-portuguesa-corinthians-e-atletico-pr.htm 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If anyone from The Times is reading this website, I suggest you go change your obit for John McNamee. Says he died on 29th November. Physically impossible given that his death was announced on 28th November, and that announcement said "he died earlier this week".

The Telegraph have published a delayed obit for him and unusually they don’t list a date of death just that the death was announced on the 28th November 2024.
