British-born defender Baldock found ***** at Greek home

Panathinaikos defender George Baldock, a former Greece international who also played for Sheffield ******* for seven seasons, has been found ***** in his Athens home, Greek media reported. He was 31.

State-run ERT television said Baldock’s body was found late on Wednesday (Thursday AEDT) in his swimming pool in the southern suburb of Glyfada. The cause of ****** was not immediately clear.

Britain-born Baldock was called up for Greece in 2022 and played 12 matches, the last in March in the Greek loss on penalties to Georgia in the Euro 2024 play-offs.

He played for Panathinaikos in Sunday’s 0-0 draw with Olympiacos.

He was not in Greece’s squad for Thursday’s UEFA Nations League game against England.

Baldock joined Sheffield ******* in 2017 and helped the club earn promotion to the Premier League twice, in 2019 and 2023.

He joined Panathinaikos in May, on a three-year contract, after Sheffield ******* were again relegated to England’s second division.

“Sheffield ******* Football Club is shocked and extremely saddened to learn of the passing of former player, George Baldock,” the English club said on social media.

“The defender left the club in the summer after seven years at Bramall Lane and was extremely popular with supporters, staff and team-mates who pulled on a red and white shirt alongside him.”
