The guy was talented, probably not the best people will have ever seen, or ever remember, but he was a decent footnballer.

never realised he was this ill.

But people knew he always had the potential

The £8.1m transfer was at the time the highest amount paid for an English player who had not won an international cap.

he probably was one of the best defenders never to have played for england.

rip - big loss

RIP.

Really, really concerned how many current or recently retired footballers are suffering major and lethal health issues these days too, yet another big loss.

A real shock to read this.  I had no idea he'd had to retire due to ill health, that was kept quiet.

Such a shame to see someone die so young.

Peace
