FIFA World Cup Players

Recommended Posts

Billy Bingham is the first faller from my one round Deathlist Cup team back in February.

 

Maybe the second half of 2022 is going to be crueller to my DDP teams than the first.

But unfortunately, a family member's comment on Facebook is not good enough for Wikipedia standards.

Simple way round that. Get in touch with one of the football stats sites like this https://fbref.com/en/players/f8cdec4e/Bobby-Trainor … they’ll update with the death info then it can be used to ref his Wiki page.

Hard to say. If they've copied it from Wikipedia, then no, but this may be the original information that led to the Wiki info.

 

I'd prefer something in Serbian myself to be sure.

The editor from Wikipedia has confirmed that he indeed got it from kicker.de

 

Another source that we can probably say he died in 2011 is from this FB page

https://m.facebook.com/istorijaexyufudbala/photos/a.1379658038888742/1379946928859853/?type=3

I've checked the page and he used to run a website about the old Yugoslavia league. I think he might be credible if he really does a great research of Yugoslavian football

 The 2nd source is good enough for me, as it even gives place of death. Good work! 

Just amazed there was nothing in Yugoslav media

A comprehensive list of Mexico 86 players no longer with us - a surprising amount :(

Twitter thread here if Tumblr gets arsey

 

 

The two common themes for me in that list - neurological illnesses eg. MND, early onset dementia etc and car accidents.

Javier Cárdenas, a midfielder who played one match for Mexico at the 1978 World Cup in Argentina - a 3-1 defeat to Poland in which he was subbed off at half-time, dead at 69.

He made 11 other appearances for the Mexican national team, scoring twice and played over 200 times in seven years with Chivas Guadalajara.
