Is there any secret to the longevity of these Turks? Are Dinçer and Ersoy the last survivors of the 1954 WC?

Jose Santamaria (Uruguay ) still alive

His Wikipedia says that he almost made the 1950 WC as well. Incredible.

Do you understand what “could be alive” means?

Italian Gino Pivatelli is definitely alive.

 

Uruguyans Omar Pedro Méndez and  Roberto Leopardi are like Dincer and Ersoy : no knews about them, so could be alive or dead.

 

So technically, there could be 6 survivors from the 1954 World Cup.

Ersoy was interviewed as recently as 2022, he is clearly alive.

On Friday I was eating with Pepe Santamaría in Madrid. Good health.
