F***ing hell.

Apparently he was on the phone with his girlfriend when it happened

 

Football simply becomes irrelevant in situations like these

 

Terrible stuff. R.I.P.

I think he was the fella who pulled Torres down through on goal and got booked.

Thats awful to hear. RIP

Hard to believe that these things can happen to people at their physical peak. The Espanyol team was in Italy for a training camp but will now be cancelling their game tomorrow and flying back home. RIP.

I really hope that isn't true about him being on the phone to his pregnant girlfriend at the time

It's almost two years since Antonio Puerta died, a year since De La Red collapsed with heart issues. I know three players over two years might not be considered a Hell of a lot in comparison to the number of actual players there are but surely alarm bells must be ringing?

 

I recall Arbeloa speaking of Puerta's death. He indicated that there is a test that can be carried out that would define if a player is at risk but it is 'invasive' and 'costly'.

 

Considering that teams are spending 80 million on players, these days, what price is on a player's life?

RIP Daniel.

Dreadful news, only 26 and just been made captain. Report I read said he was on the phone to his girlfriend, didn't realise she was pregnant as well.

 

RIP

You'd think it would be done as a matter of course. But modern business thinking probably figures if many millions have already been spent, a couple of thousand more is a step too far

Awful stuff - scary it seems to have happened a few times in recent years.

 

RIP Dani Jarque
