Topic: Deceased foosball players list

[Buckshot]

Awhile back I found a list of deceased foosball players somewhere online and I can't  find it again, I Google it and only get a list of deceased football players. I just learned that my good friend and longtime doubles partner has passed away and I want to put his name on the list. His name was Steve Luis, he was a good ol' boy. He played in the San Francisco Bay Area in the 70's & 80's and was the first player I ever saw shoot a rollover. That was in 1976, hit hit one from the 2man rod to put me out of a tournament at the Alpen Glow, a bar in the East Bay area. If anyone can give me a link to that site with the list of deceased players I would appreciate it. I saw too many names on that list of people I knew, now there will be another one.

If you go to Fire Ball web site & click on Bart O'Hearn report you'll get some info.  I'll try to copy/paste the link.      http://fireballtablesoccer.com/joomla15/news.html?showall=1


Hope this helps

Contact Joe Koonce aka BartOFoos on the other board.  He'll add the name to the plaque that honors all the deceased players and probably has a list also.

And while you're listening...Wanna go to DFW to meet some of the players there?  They are mostly dyp or No2pro dyp.  I could meet you there or somewhere on I-35 from Ardmore on south.  Be warned though, they sometimes last until 2 am.  The drive down there is not bad, but the return trip can be rough on old people.

jkhFoos, I tried your link but couldn't find the list or how to get there.

papafoos, I don't really know what "the other board" is, but if you could give me more info I would like to go there and contact Joe Koonce. Also, DFW sounds like fun and I'm interested, but it is quite a drive and I'll have to figure out how to work it into my work/school schedule. I've been procrastinating on getting involved in the local tournament scene in OKC, that's something I need to do. I'll email you as soon as I figure out what I ought to do.

Thank you both for responding to my request.

Hi Buckshot, Joe here, deadbarfoos sent me the link to this thread...thanks Ben.

Sorry to hear about your friend Steve, my thoughts and condolences are with you and his family. I've added Steve's name to our list and ordered a name plate for our Memorial Trophy.

Here's the link to the thread with the list that you probably saw awhile back:

That list is 3 years old and out of date.

Here's the updated list:

Facebook > "Fallen foosers" i think

Ben, "Fallen foosers" on Facebook is not my page, I don't know who that is, I sent them a PM about a month ago to find out who it is and they never replied back. It appears to be someone from Iowa honoring the fallen foosers from their area.

Thank you Joe for your condolences, the web link and putting my old friends name on the list. Steve was someone who everyone who met him liked. He had a lot of health problems the last few years and now he has peace. He will be missed.

I feel compelled to make a few more comments about some of the people on this list who I knew or met.

I only met Jim Wiswell once. I was at a big tournament in the late 70's and I had a match called at a particular table. I went to the table to play my match and the Living Legend Jim Wiswell was practicing at that table. He was as nice as could be and was going to just leave me the balls to practice with. I asked him to shoot some shots against me so I could practice against him. He hit nothing but dinks, then when my opponent walked up he hit the longests, fastest pull I ever saw.

I knew Bobby Thompson well and  liked him a lot. He was a teenage foosball prodigy and a world class player who shot a push-kick. He always had a good attitude and encouraged me. He died in an auto accident when he was very young.

Roger Vance was a unique individual, one of a kind. He was the best rocketball style player I ever saw and a helluva goalie. .

Reggie Price was a very good friend from the SF Bay Area. He was good natured and fun to be around. He had the best defense against a pull kick I ever saw, I mean he could absolutely shut down any pull-kick shooter he faced.

That's it, my tribute to fallen foosers I have known.

I am not a current foosball player however I am married to Gina Piscopo and she is the sister of Jeff Piscopo.  I found his world champion  ship table and was wondering where would be a good place to get it rebuilt.  Please help it would mean a lot to her.
