Live to love, leave to miss…in memory of “Starman” George Baldock
• Baldock has won 12 caps for Greece.
• He has played 219 games for Sheffield United, scoring 6 goals and providing 16 assists.
George Baldock (1993-2024) has passed away, according to media reports. Since Thursday. Following his death, family members said Baldock had accidentally drowned in his home swimming pool, taking his life at the age of 31.
To Sheffield United fans, he is nicknamed “STARMAN” for his hard work on the pitch and his friendliness off the pitch. Through both good times and bad, with the team over the course of seven years.
The England-Greece game yesterday was a mourning game for both teams. A man who was born in England, played most of his professional football in England. But was himself of Greek descent and later chose to play for the national team, and only recently moved to Greece to try life after accepting an offer from Panathinaikos this season.
Baldock may not have been a famous footballer but as a Premier League player. He gave chances to others, one of whom was further exposed when he passed away. It is a story of mourning and farewell… one that at the very least. George Baldock will live on in the memory of one family who were helped by his help in giving their son a chance when he was about to leave the game.
“Marie”, one of the fans who came to pay her respects to him, said that at one time, “Harvey”, her son, suffered from an abnormal heart valve and had to have an electrical pacemaker installed. And of course, it was a huge amount of money for the family. She chose to raise funds by sending emails to various clubs to ask if they could sell their merchandise. Finally, Sheffield United contacted them and invited both of them to the club at that time. Covid-19 was just starting to be more controlled. But they had to wear protective masks and maintain social distancing.
The two were given a tour of the stadium and met Sander Berge and George Baldock. Baldock spoke to her and asked what had happened to her son. Before saying that he didn’t need to go to the ทางเข้า ufabet https://ufabet999.app club and would buy him a pacemaker himself because he wanted to see Harvey play football again. It certainly brought joy to the mother and her son, who had been given a huge opportunity by someone he had just met for the first time.
Marie has met Baldock several times since then. And they often talk about how her son, who now has a pacemaker and is able to play football with his friends. Marie tells him that her son has just helped his school team get promoted to the youth league and scored the winning goal, and Baldock has watched a clip of the goal.
“He was so touched when he saw the video. I told him that my son would not have had this opportunity without his help. I am forever grateful to him. It is so sad that he is gone and he should have been happier, had a better ending,” Marie said.
“Live to love, leave to miss” is one of the things that the author often tells himself. If the time comes to the end of his life. He wants the people around him to think of him in a certain way. When he is alive, do that. And Baldock gave his last example through his short life as a human being as a farewell.
Finally, may you rest in eternal peace…Starman
