Octopus of Odstock 2,195 Posted June 23, 2008 Mick Hill , ex Welsh international & ex Ipswich, Sheffield United & Crystal Palace forward, has died, aged 60 John Hulme, ex Reading & Bolton captain & stalwart has died of pancreatic cancer.

Octopus of Odstock 2,195 Posted June 24, 2008 I feel like the Rothmans Obituary page right now: Ron Stitfall, like Hill, a two-time capped player for Wales & a legend for Cardiff City is dead. Died of dementia, like Siddall. Not good, not good at all. Too many dead cos of it. So too is Brian Siddall, ex Bournemouth, Stoke, Ipswich player is dead. He t'was 78 Alex Simpson, ex Wolves, Soton & Shrewsbury wing-half is also dead. See here if you dare Cyril Ordish, who played for Reading & Sheffield Weds pre-WW2 is dead. He died last year, but has only just come through now. He also played for Ipswich who seem to have a lot dying... hmm.. Sir Bobby next? finally, Eddie Quinlan. Tottenham & Reading player is also dead. Alas RIP to all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest David Posted June 30, 2008 Bobby Moncur is now cancer free. Fantastic game last night - and deservedly won by Spain. My cousin rang from Barcelona after the game - and he said the party was amazing. I also drank rather a lot celebrating the win - so I've got a killing hangover.

No, none of the Brit teams qualified - but as I often go to Spain over the summer, I rooted for them and was overjoyed when they won. If Scotland ever get to the final, I'll be on such a bender you'll never hear from me again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a great city and you'll love it - although don't ever think you can beat us in a drinking contest. I'm off on my holidays this afternoon - so you'll not hear from me for another week.

DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted July 9, 2008 More non league football deathly stuff: Ian Crawley, who scored winning goals at Wembley in two FA finals, has beaten (it says here) pancreatic cancer, only to face succumbing to motor neurone disease. Sadly for Deathlisters, the FA finals were the FA Vase and the FA Trophy, and the clubs he scored for were VS Rugby and Telford, so I doubt he'll get a UK obit. Ian Crawley has died.

TAFKAG 70 Posted September 16, 2008 The 'football' thread is mainly a place to discuss progress of our teams, so I'm suggesting this one in the mould of the 'rugger buggers' and 'will ill kill phil hill' as a place to keep tabs on the obit worthy lingerers at the door of the departure loungue. You know, like Stan Bowles and Malcolm Allison. Obviously the high profile Sir Bobby Robson gets to keep his own thread, but Bobby Moncur and the rest probably belong here. Article giving props to Allison, despite calling him a buffoon. Malcolm Allison's mind has gone, and he spends his days in a care home. Talk about "life's sunless hill".

Canadian Paul 97 Posted September 29, 2008 As for Kalocsai, he only recently passed away - the link is in Hungarian, but he appears to have died on 29 July 2007. You might be interested in this OoO. I got this message after I tried to insert his date of death on his Wikipedia page: Hi! I know it is almost unbeleivable, but Géza Kalocsay didn't die in 2007. The article you referred is talking about another Hungarian footballplayer with exactly the same name, but with a different lifeline. Pay attention to to other Kalocsay's different date (7 December, 1914) and place (Szeged) of birth, and different career. I was discussing this in a forum with football historians, and we concluded, that the two Kalocsay's are not connected at all. So it appears that there's another survivor. This time, the real Géza Kalocsay has died. While I'm posting, Juan Tuñas, the last surviving player from Cuba's 1938 World Cup Squad, is 91 years young. Although the article is a bit outdated, I haven't seen any notice of his death. Probably zero obit chances, but interesting nonetheless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
