Terrible and seems to be happening more and more. I remember when I was a kid I used to think "why do footballers never die" and now it's commonplace that 2 or 3 seem to pass away every year.

RIP.

Makes you wonder...

Dreadful news... Condolences to his family & friends, and supporters of the clubs he represented.

I've often wondered what damage heading a ball can do, especially if you're maybe doing it 20 times a game like a centre back often does.

Never even thought of that aspect. Now that does make you wonder...

Every time you do it it's like being punched, your brain rattles around in your head. Good job they use these soft plastic things now though.

Very sad news indeed. RIP.
