Took a couple looks for English obit -- to no avail. Looks like his surname may be spelled with an O (Nicklasson), but not even sure of that lol SC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

charon 4,938 Posted February 20, 2018 https://www.uefa.com/insideuefa/about-uefa/history/obituaries/newsid=2539209.html#/ Pavel Panov at 67, Bulgarian striker from 74 WC. Third in all time Euro competition Bulgarian scoring charts, only Stoichkov and Bervatov scored more, tho he did it all from the Bulgarian league with Levski Sofia. Here he scores both Levski goals to tie it up v the great Ajax side in 75, and eventually knock them on on pens. Funky soundtrack too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was however a squad player who never played.Of the 1950 players, there are a maximum of 40 alive. However that World Cup saw a lot of South American teams, whose players are virtual unknowns, so the likelihood is that more Mexicans, Chilean, Bolivian and Paraguyan players are dead. 1954 and 1958 should be slightly more accurate.Some famous names on there though and some certainly worth a stab on the DDP.This will also be where other World Cup Players' deaths can be posted - and why not start as I mean to go on, with the death of Jan Zlocha, who played for the Czechoslovakian team in 1970 - 7 of their squad dead already. http://www.cas.sk/cl...ntant-cssr.html (IN Czech)Note the below is only who played, not squad members (like Llense);England||||||Player|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||DoB/Age -|||||||||||||||||||||||Roy Bentley||||||||||||||||||||(1924-05-17)17 May 1924 (aged 26) Last survivor of the 1950 Squad and DDP pick Roy Bentley dead: https://talksport.com/football/chelsea-legend-and-1955-title-winner-roy-bentley-dies-180420279862 Edit: Mirror Obit: https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/roy-bentley-dead-tributes-paid-12399150 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think he''s a decent shot of going before Craig Brown (or even the 96 year old). Wouldn't surprise if Joe Jordan or Paul Sturrock went first either, tbh.
