scary shit... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba ... ge-30.html

First I heard was when I saw Demba Ba tweet it earlier. Poor fella. 30 yes old.

RIP Cheick

RIP lad. Far, far too young.

Shocking stuff - RIP young man

Fucking hell.

30 years of age. Dreadfully sad. Another young black man with heart problems. Does make you wonder.

RIP

Sad news. If it is heart related which wouldn't surprise me, then why are the medical staff not picking up on it? Unless just a freak thing.

Rest in Peace x

This is all very sobering.

Under 'normal' circumstances, he might be said to have only been through one third of his overall projected lifespan.

This is very sad indeed.

Apparently his wife expecting their third child. Desperately sad

It does appear to be a worrying trait, it can't be coincidence, they must be missing something as I'm sure all top clubs screen players regularly.

Very sad indeed, RIP

rip. still remember his disallowed goal against us. prob the last time we caught a big break from officials.

edit: that was the same game pardew called pellegrini a "f*cking old c*nt." lolz.

Closer to two thirds for someone from the Ivory Coast.

RIP. Surprised to hear that a) he was 30, and b) he was no longer at Newcastle.

Horrible

Rip.

indeed, another young black player. Curious that this happens in football, no other sport (if I am not mistaken). Here in Romania three young footballers from Africa died in on the field in the last 4 years.

Shocking stuff.

Also, our former player, Alex Nimely, left the country after he had something similar. Now plays in Norway.

Very sad news,RIP.

My biggest memory of him was him scoring a late equaliser in the "famous" 4-4 draw between Arsenal and Newcastle.
Turns out it was his only Newcastle goal.

Sad news

By far not the only sport. Basketball, football, lacrosse and many others. Every case is unique but many have to do with arrhythmias, most which can be corrected with an AED.

He scored a cracker against us that was wrongly ruled out as well. Very sad news. Hope this wasn't a preventable tragedy.

Bloody hell - 30 years is no age. His poor wife.

So sad. Shocking news.
