When his wife could not reach him by phone, she turned to the caretaker of the house where her husband lived in Athens. Then… Horror and sadness. And a great tragedy. The football world is mourning; George Baldock, a footballer from England and occasional representative of Greece, has died at the age of 32. He was a teammate of Andraž Šporar, Adam Gnezda Čerin, and Benjamin Verbič at Panathinaikos.
What happened is still unknown, but foreign media reports that Baldock was found in a pool. He had reportedly been there for several hours, leaving rescuers, who rushed to the scene, with no choice but to confirm the footballer’s death.
George Baldock was born in Buckingham, England, and had Greek roots through his mother, which allowed him to wear the Greek jersey in 2022, in which he played 12 matches. He signed for Panathinaikos in May this year, agreeing to a three-year contract; prior to that, he played for Sheffield United for seven years.
“We are shocked and saddened by the loss of our George. The Panathinaikos family mourns his sudden passing. We stand by the family and loved ones of George Baldock,” wrote the Greek giant Panathinaikos in their initial response.
