Brazilian player Walter Machado da Silva, who played once for Brazil in the 1966 World Cup (versus Portugal) has died, aged 80. Source is in Catalan - https://www.fcbarcelona.cat/ca/noticies/1848914/mor-walter-machado-da-silva/amp

Panenka, yes THE Panenka is currently in hospital on the IC with Corona. And he's not doing well....

 

Cheating death with a chip shot will be a massive task.

[Youth in Asia 1,086]

Yes, although Czech healthcare is some of the best around, Panenka is not in good shape generally, and the Czech diet is poor, so I don't think his chances are great. He will forever be a hero for his penalty and helping Czechoslovakia win the 1976 European Championships.

[MarcJWallace 270]

Gilberto Penayo, part of Paraguay's team for the 1958 tournament, has died aged 87.

Unclear on his total number of caps and goals, but it does say he made several appearances and was also part of the Paraguay team who came third in the Copa America the year after the aforementioned World Cup appearance.

Tony Waiters, 257 appearances for Blackpool and five between the sticks for England, he was one of the last players dropped for the 66 squad. However, after his career was over he went over to Canada to manage and led them to their only World Cup appearance in 1986, thus qualifying him for this thread. Dead at 83.

@Octopus of Odstock, maybe you know about this but there's an article here dated 29th July 2002.

Two paragraphs down it talks about a moment's silence for the memory of the LATE Urbano Rivera.

So likely he died that month.


Translation of 2nd paragraph:

"The Jardines loudspeaker network sent one that deserved "sticks" from its people. Yesterday while the minute of silence in memory of the late Urbano Rivera, a former Danubio player in the 1950s, was being fulfilled, the man went on and on with the formations. As he did not stop, people began to turn around and with gestures they silenced him, so the minute was "longer" than expected."

Ray Clemence brown dead at age 72

Just got the news on the sky app, really surprised knew he was ill with Cancer a few years ago but thought he had beaten it obviously not sadly, easily one of the best goalkeepers of his generation and has secured his place as one of the great goalkeepers of all time. Won 3 European Cups with Liverpool alongside various Leagues and Cups and Won UEFA Cup with Spurs as well as playing over 1,000 career games is some record.

 

As a United fan I’m not overly keen on a lot of ex Liverpool players(Dalglish, Souness etc) of that era as they come across as so arrogant and Liverpool can do no wrong (though I suppose same could be said about United players from our successful era)even if I admire and respect there records but Ray Clemence along with Keegan were one’s I liked as they came across as genuinely nice down to earth people I wasn’t expecting the news as I’m sure a lot weren’t RIP Ray sad loss.

Odd given he's had prostate cancer since the early 2000s. Has this only come to light since he died or has it been known before? (I could search, but you know...)

 

Anyway, glad he's a miss, there's been altogether too much action already in the Scavenger Hunt recently. 

[Exu 250]

The word legend gets overused, but nit in this case. A tremendously successful club career that many modern English players would struggle to emulate.  Shame his career ran parallel with Peter shilton who was a slightly better keeper at his peak in my opinion.

My generation grew up watching his team rule the domestic and Eurooean game. RIP
