The former KOM Leaguers never located

The goal is to locate as many of the 75 (+ -) "unfound" former KOM Leaguers as possible. This site is continually changing.

The data are in name order; last/first, the team and year for which the individual played and his hometown or last known residence. If anyone has a clue to the whereabouts or fate of any of these men please get in touch with the KOM League site. E-mail John Hall at j03.john@gmail.com
