DoorSlammer 563 Posted May 23 On 27/03/2024 at 19:55, nantonian2013 said: Johnny Rep the only living absentee. Johnny Rep was mentioned on Dutch TV yesterday. A TV presenter made a song about Rep and then a former football commentator (known for the commentary of this Bergkamp goal) mentioned Rep is "currently not in the best phase in his life and hasn't been for a while". All the money the song makes will go to Rep, too. And a yearly local cycling event that bears his name has announced there won't be a 2024 edition, instead focusing their attention on the 2025 edition. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bryan Douglas and Colin McDonald from 1958 squad with Alan Peacock and George Eastham from the 1962 squad but surely they are others who didn’t go to a tournament.
