No. But John Trollope will be signing his new biography in WHSmith tomorrow morning if that helps.

I have no idea. I have seen some sites about before which detail every player who played for every club; don't know the website addresses but even if I did then you'd have to go through every player and check dob; see if they're dead etc.
I'll have a complete guess at Sam Burton who will be 80 this year; I know he's still alive. There must be older ex-players than that around though.

Alex Ferguson manages Manchester United, of course, and Don Howe is still in the Arsenal set up......................................I don't that either of them actually played for Swindon Town, though.
Don Howe used to smile more during the team photo, than during the rest of the season, ....................all of the team were behind the ball.

Does anyone know please? Been giving this a bit of thought and its a difficult one. Working on the basis that the player would be most likely to have played in the early 30's...they'd most likely been born around the time of the Great War, making them into their 90's. But its the finding out if they're still alive that's difficult. Old cricketers like Les Berry are easy to do because Wisden is hot on this sort of thing....a candidate would be someone like Billy Lucas, who's a hero in Newport and Swansea, and an ex Welsh International, he'd be about 98 if still alive. Can't find any site though that records deaths of Welsh internationals....suppose you could go to a Newport County website and ask. |

There must be older ex-players than that around though. i think this is the site you are talking about http://allfootballers.com/ but you have to go through season by season, player by player to find out when they died the oldest i can see so far is Ben Morton, born 1910, played for STFC from 1937-1939 apparently he was swindon's first ever four-figure signing too |
