CurryAngel Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Holy fuck. Was a big fan of his during his career. Only 42, what a shame. Â Has there been any suspected cause of death released yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted November 27, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted November 27, 2011 How did that happen? What a kick in the teeth that is. Incredibly sad. So out of the blue as well. Even though he was a Mag, always liked him. Can across as a nice, hardworking and obviously dedicated bloke. A real shame. 42 is no age at all.

This is really really sad news. That was my first thought he looked fine on Football Focus only yesterday. Great footballer and had potential to do well as the Welsh manager.

WU LYF 4 LYF Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Unbelievable, especially the timing after the great run he's been on with Wales. Perhaps this will give that type of depression some exposure, where the person can seemingly be incredibly successful yet underneath are still void of something and need help. Â I'll always remember watching Match of the Day as a kid seeing his bullet headers fly in on a regular basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
