Spade_Cooley 9,459 Posted March 9, 2022 Justice Christopher, who played in all three of Nigeria's "Group of Death" matches at the 2002 World Cup, is dead.

(I've updated Wikipedia). Looks like Park Jae-Seung died in 2015, so he was the last Korean survivor. Saw that someone got a fan mail from Gilbert Fesselet on 8 November 2021. That would mean he might the only living Swiss player left for 1954. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tan Hong Djien- The exact same two websites were again the most secure results, and both say that he's alive too. He isn't 100 yet, so there's a bigger chance that he's alive that the chance for Anwar. Of note, Tan Hong Djien, having featured in all nine competitive internationals the Dutch East Indies ever played, has the record for 100% participation in any national team's fixtures. I'm pretty sure he's dead though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Immortal 621 Posted April 1, 2022 On 23/12/2021 at 17:53, TheSpinosaurus said: Just seen it your list, a very interesting list you got there and I did some scouting to find more information some on these players and found some stuff that needs to be updated. Omar Mendez (Uruguay 1954 and 1962) are the same person born on August 7, 1934. Zoltan Friedmanzsky (Hungary 1958) did an interview in 2014 for a local news channel and this is the video, unfortunately everything is in Hungarian but it's proof that as of 2014 he is still alive. And his birthdate on October 22, 1934 according to his page on Hungary's Wikipedia though it's pretty unreliable. Adolf Scherer (Czechoslovakia 1958) has done an interview on a Slovakian news site just a few days ago, unfortunately the article is paywalled but from whatever I could see he seems to be doing well and he lives in France (though I have no idea for how long he has been there). Braulio Musso (Chile 1962) is mentioned on your list having a birthdate May 24, 1937 but his wikipedia page shows a birthdate of March 8, 1930 and it claims he played from Universidad de Chile from 1951 to 1968 but not just that, some more searching and I find that Braulio Musso has a Facebook Page which he is definitely involved in, and you will find all his posts are about his football days and though he has only shown photos dating back to 1955, he mentions in one post that he played for Universidad de Chile at the age of 21 and that makes the 1930 birth year make more sense because even if he debuted for his club in 1955 he would still be 17/18 with a 1937 birth year. Zoltan Friedmanzsky dead according to Hungarian source https://m4sport.hu/magyar-foci/cikk/2022/03/31/elhunyt-friedmanszky-zoltan-a-ferencvaros-korabbi-labdarugoja-es-edzoje/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
