At that age I'd start to worry more about my own death than the deaths of others. Life expectancy for the UK is currently 81, so even in there mid-50s a lot of our regulars have the possibility of a few decades ahead of them. The flip side of your comment is of course presumably the closer you get to death the more likely you are to embrace the inevitability of it and feel less queasy about gambling on others going - having seen so many celebs die already by that point. Sadly, a few former forum regulars are now deceased or believed to be deceased but that's life. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarcJWallace 270 Posted July 3, 2020 Ardico Magnini, who played for Italy at the 1954 World Cup, has died aged 91. Born in Pistoia, the defender made his debut with hometown club Pistoiese in 1947 before moving to Fiorentina three years later. He made 78 appearances for his hometown team, scoring 13 goals. He would make 225 appearances (6 goals) for Fiorentina, being a part of the Viola side who captured the Scudetto in 1956. After leaving Fiorentina in 1958, he joined Genoa where he made 26 appearances, scoring twice before retiring in 1960. His passing means only three survive of Italy's 1954 squad managed by Lajos Czeizler. Those three are Giampiero Bonipierti (born 1928) Carlo Galli (1931) and Gino Pivatelli (1933) https://www.lanazione.it/sport/calcio/ardico-magnini-fiorentina-morto-1.5286434/amp 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And he scored the Dutch goal too! But if you had to look to the first World Cup final with no deaths whatsoever, it'd be 1990! With Suurbier's death, hacks away at the Dutch teams here.

Octopus of Odstock 2,175 Posted July 19, 2020 Haiti's 1974 squad has taken a bit of a battering recently - Claude Barthelemy I posted about a while back. Also gone is Roger Saint Vil - https://lenouvelliste.com/article/217173/roger-saint-vil-le-8e-disparu-de-la-generation-dor and the article also reveals Serge Racine has died. This can only have been either late 2018 or early 2019 as he was still alive in 2018 https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/world-cup-countdown-11-weeks-175800431.html but was also listed as deceased when Barthalemy died in April.
