    Dreadful news.

    I had hoped he would recover.

    RIP.

    Raiola has gone. Suspect many will not miss him aside from his clients. The amount of money that lines the pockets of parasites aka agents beggars belief.

    His death is sad at such a young age , no doubt. The amount of money he , and other agents, removed from football is detrimental.

    RIP Billy Bingham who had great success managing the Northern Ireland team in the 80s. Sadly lived with dementia for 16 years.
    However, he provided my single most memorable World Cup moment when Gerry Armstrong’s goal beat Spain in Valencia.

    I think we should mark the passing of Uwe Seeler, captain of West Germany in the 66 World Cup and one of the greats.
    One of my earliest football memories is of him scoring this goal v England in 1970:
    He had a terrific goal record for club and country, was a legend at Hamburg and by all accounts was a really nice guy too. RIP

    Luton Town Football Club.

    A proud club that fought back from the bowels of English football but was ultimately and brutally violated and had to make up some sort of mystery illness to explain their annihilation.

    David Johnson, a key member of the Liverpool side in the late 1970s has passed at the age of 71. A one goal every three appearances average at Liverpool. Bit sobering really, as that now seems very young. A player I saw mainly on TV highlight shows, and the few live matches like the FA Cup and European cup.

    Such sad news :( I read somewhere that he is still Serie A record direct free-kick scorer with 28 goals. He was also a true warrior.

    I thought he managed to get rid of leukemia when he was diagnosed cancer free a few years ago, but unfortunatelly it came back...

    RIP Legend :(
