msc 18,437 Posted November 1, 2018 2 hours ago, charon said: Czechoslovakia striker Tadeusz Kraus who played in 54+58 Finals dead according to wiki. Can't find shit in searches, even for foreign press. Sparta announced it on their website. Here's a crap Google translation - you can get the gist though. Quote Tadeus Kraus diedA few days before the biggest celebration of Czech football, Sparta and all her fans struck a sad news. With deep grief, we announce that at the age of 86, the legendary Spartan died, the Czechoslovakian representative and participant in two world championships, Tadeus Kraus.Tadeus Kraus was born in 1932 in Třinec and his father played football. He gave him the genes, and although he was trained by a locksmith, he swiftly absorbed the world of football. At the age of sixteen he played for Třinec and then went through Olomouc and Doha Praha to Sparta.In her jersey he played 458 matches between 1956 and 1966 and scored 201 goals. In the following years, he was an acknowledged head of the whole youth section, a coach of the first league and a league team. He remained a retired retired retired, was a regular visitor to all the matches at our stadium and was one of the greatest legends in the Spartan."As a player in Sparta, I was waiting for a 10-year master title. Now, as a pensioner, only four years, but it is high time for this joy to return to Letna as soon as possible, "said Mr. Kraus a year ago in a Sparta magazine interview.Honor his memory! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Octopus of Odstock 2,186 Posted November 29, 2018 On the Time Added thread, Maryportfuncity ponders if Broadis is the oldest living international and Fernando Roldan's name pops up. Well, I do believe he's still alive. The last details were in 2016; https://www.latercera.com/noticia/manuel-arriagada-a-esta-uc-hay-que-ponerle-mas-corazon/ where he is listed as being in a rest home. Having done as thorough a search as I can, I strongly believe a lot of the 1950 players that I knew little about have gone. Sure, there might be the odd one alive that I've got down as dead, but I can see it being no more than 2 out. So for 1950, I believe this to be as accurate as I can and all of these are either definitely or almost certainly alive (Saguier is my only real question mark): 1950 World Cup – 10 survivors MexicoPlayerDoB/Age1Antonio Carbajal(1929-06-07)7 June 1929 (aged 21) ChilePlayerDoB/ Age8Luis Lindorfo Mayanés(1925-01-15)15 January 1925 (aged 25)9Manuel Muñoz(1928-04-28)28 April 1928 (aged 22)12Andrés Prieto(1928-12-19)19 December 1928 (aged 21) 3Fernando Roldán(1921-04-01)1 April 1921 (aged 29) ItalyPlayerDoB/Age8Giampiero Boniperti(1928-07-04)4 July 1928 (aged 21) -2Attilio Giovannini(1924-07-30)30 July 1924 (aged 25) 17Egisto Pandolfini(1926-02-19)19 February 1926 (aged 24)- Emilio Caprile (1928) ParaguayPlayerDoB/Age9Darío Saguier(1926-09-11)11 September 1926 (aged 23) Definitely all dead: Brazil, Uruguay, Spain, Sweden, England, USA Believed all dead (but no information to confirm); Bolivia, Switzerland, Yugoslavia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
