Jaqen Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Colombian keeper Faryd Mondragon in hospital after suicide attempt. The former Colombia goalkeeper Faryd Mondragón was taken to hospital on Tuesday after reportedly attempting to kill himself. The Valle del Lili clinic in his home town of Cali confirmed that Mondragón, who became the oldest player at a World Cup in 2014, was admitted after suffering from a “metabolic imbalance”. The hospital later stated the 44-year-old “is in good condition and under medical observation”, although it did not say when he may be released. The news came hours after Mondragón posted a concerning message on Instagram, which has since been deleted. “There is only me who can judge my life and I’m tired of being judged by others without the possibility of defending myself,” he wrote. Reports in the Colombian media suggested he had taken a large dose of antidepressants. At the age of 43 years and three days, Mondragón beat Roger Milla’s record for the oldest player to play in a World Cup finals match during Colombia’s 4-1 win over Japan. The former Real Zaragoza, Galatasaray and Metz goalkeeper has since retired from football and started working as a pundit last year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute legend in South American football. Must be tough as shit when you've played football your whole life to have to quit. Think retiring at 43 just shows how reluctant he must've been to quit.

Village Idiot Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Atlético and Real Madrid issued a two-window transfer ban, starting summer 2016. For pretty much the same reasons we got ours. Florentino Pérez will top himself if he can't buy players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many a time a drunken away game would include the random song "Cliffy Ahmed's coaching staff" on the bus - RIP. RIP Cliffy. A bit of an eccentric but a really canny, and harmless fella. Literally followed NUFC everywhere. I was talking to him at the FA Youth Cup match against Chelsea last season and didn't think he looked too well back then.

Froggy Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Somehow I have never been aware of the Bradford City fire that happened in 1985. Was brought to my attention on Reddit today.

It's probably something to do with me not being alive at the time, and I didn't support either of the teams, and it also isn't paraded on Facebook like the Munich air disaster or Hillsborough. Still, I'm surprised I hadn't heard of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, I'm surprised I hadn't heard of it. It was before my time as well but pretty early on in my life I was aware of it. The only real disaster to happen to English clubs in recent times that would be easy not to know about would be Heysel as it's not reported as much.
