I got this message after I tried to insert his date of death on his Wikipedia page: [quote]Hi! I know it is almost unbeleivable, but Géza Kalocsay didn't die in 2007. The article you referred is talking about another Hungarian footballplayer with exactly the same name, but with a different lifeline. Pay attention to to other Kalocsay's different date (7 December, 1914) and place (Szeged) of birth, and different career. I was discussing this in a forum with football historians, and we concluded, that the two Kalocsay's are not connected at all.[/quote] So it appears that there's another survivor. [/quote]

Just discovered another death post-78, Vojacek, who played for Czechoslovakia in two games (including versus England) in 1982, died in 2006. Last post updated for him and Flohe.

Geoff Strong

The former Arsenal, Liverpool and Coventry City player has died aged 75. He was part of the team that clinched Liverpool's first ever FA Cup win in 1965 under Bill Shankly. He played 155 games for Liverpool between 1964 and 1970, scoring 29 times.

Ah. I'm thinking of Davie Provan when recalling those Spain/Mexico squads...

Is he ill?

Is this including squad players? Okafor was also in the Nigeria squad in 1994

No, because there's a Costa Rica reserve goalie from 2006 who killed himself shortly after the tournament.

Weird that Khalawi's death hasn't been reported outside of Arab press at all, what with his cap record. You'd have thought one of The Guardian's dudes would have chipped in with a blog post or something. Arabic footballers probably the least sexy out there, with the exception of Australasia.
