It’s not unusual for ppl to round up though, hence why they said 93. Anyways, it doesn’t really matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Octopus of Odstock 1,853 Posted March 1, 2023 Fontaine's death is significant in World Cup terms as it removes the oldest top scorer and the only one living pre-1974. 1930-1970 are all dead (as is 1982) so Gregorz Lato (1974) is now the oldest. Also, although 3 squad players remain, none of the French team that played in 1958 are still alive. They were doing remarkably well until relatively recently, but they've all passed on now.
