Exu 250 Posted February 10, 2021 I remember him playing for Swansea in a Welsh cup tie at Stafford rangers (work that one out!) when Swansea were flying high in the old division one. I've never seen so much phlegm projected at a single person! He handled it with dignity though (and a large bath towel) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarcJWallace 270 Posted February 11, 2021 Real Madrid legend Pachín, born Enrique Pérez Díaz, has died aged 82. He played for Real Madrid between 1959 and 1968, making 148 appearances and scoring two goals. He was part of the Real Madrid sides that won the European Cup in 1960, in the famed Hampden final against Eintracht Frankfurt and 1966 when they came from a goal down to beat Partizan Belgrade in Brussels. Despite his glittering career at club level with Real, he only made eight appearances for the Spanish national side - two of which came at the 1962 World Cup in a 1-0 win over Mexico and a 2-1 defeat to eventual winners Brazil. https://www.realmadrid.com/en/news/2021/02/10/official-announcement-passing-of-enrique-perez-pachin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathrace 1,165 Posted February 26, 2021 With the news that Peter Lorimer is seriously unwell I am reminded that according to Wikipedia at least the referee who presided over that infamous Leeds v West Brom match from 1971 which cost Leeds the title, Ray Tinkler, is still going (born 1929). The incident is famous for Barry Davies' "and Leeds will go mad" commentary. Weird that the referee and the commentator appear to have survived most of the players involved as Geoff Astle features prominently as well. Tony Brown, the West Brom number 8 is still alive.

Yeah I remember him collapsing after a game at West Ham back in 2003, I suppose he has done well to live with the condition for almost 2 decades. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
