Seconded on the congrats for the thread, Kajoo, it is very nice.
Don't have pictures as my camera was broken at the time but when I went to the Playa Ancha cemetery in Valparaíso, Chile, which is right by the stadium of Santiago Wanderers, there were sections for that team and other footballers from the area that were very interesting to see, especially how they pretty much had a section for the footballers of one team.
Also, hadn't thought of this before, but I will be in Como briefly this summer and will definitely stop at the grave of Gigi Meroni and bring back some pics.
thank you naervod, I´m happy that someone likes this thread. Gigi Meroni idea is brilliant, sadly I wasn´t able to find on web picture of his grave, only monument in Torino where he was killed by car.
In generally, I´m missing more italian players/coaches in this thread. Was searching Vittorio Pozzo, Giampiero Combi, Gigi Meroni and others but failed to find any. Same goes for Czechoslovakian players Planicka, Puc, Pešek-Káďa etc.
Austrian, Hungarian and German players on the other side are very well represented on web.
Some other former grates I would love to find are Bela Guttmann (died in Wien), Hugo Meisl (Wien), Istvan Nyers (Subotica ?) plethora of czech & slovak footballers (Pluskal, Novak, Reimann, Arpas, Laskov, Gogh), than some lesser know/forgotten footballers/coaches from central europe who passed away in Italy like Jozsef Banas (Milano ?), Cestmir Vycpalek (Palermo ?), Julius Korostelev (Torino), Julius Schubert (Torino), Ferenc Hirzer (Trento), József Viola (?)
A lot of work to do.
