Likely correct but I can’t find a death date for their number 11 Claudio Bizzarri.

 

Still a player left from the first final, Robert Siatka who is 88 now.

He was an inspiration for me, no style at all, very ugly to see and he seldom stopped the ball but he was very effective

What is the fantastic source for this?

 

EDIT: guess there is not. And casually it's his birthday.

[Perhaps 1,365]

I think somehow the OP confused his birthday for his death date.

[justonecornetto 777]

Sorry for the confusion, didn't realise that I was mixing up two different players with similar surname both of whom played for Athletic Bilbao.

 

Have edited my previous post to show correct details (and the fact he did not break Maradona's leg)
