Seriously feel sick. Terrible for his family.

 

His goal in the 4-4 easily one of my favorite Newcastle moments ever. Also, at his peak for us he was a force and really great to watch.

Fuck off. :(

 

'I started playing aged 12, in Africa. Everybody knows that the conditions there are not the best, but you must have the desire and mental strength to get over it.

'That's what made me who I am today. You need to just keep working hard and believe in your ability.

'In Africa, when I started playing football, I didn't have any boots, so that meant I worked very hard on my technique, which helped me when I did wear boots from the age of about 15.'

He made a serious impact during his time here and will be long remembered after this tragic passing for that goal. Won the league in Holland, played for his country at the World Cup and won the AFCON. It might have been a short life but he sure made the most of it.
