I hope this is not going to become a weekly occurrence, last week Cyrille Regis now Jimmy Armfield this week.

 

R.I.P Jimmy Armfield. That will be another minute of applause before the weekend's matches most likely.

He always did a great job as a pundit on Radio 5. RIP.

RIP Jimmy Armford, a true legend of the game. Shame he missed the 1966 World Cup due to injury although he was given an winner's medal 43 years later by FIFA.

 

 

Paul Alcock, former Premier League referee aged 64 probably best known for Di Canio pushing him in a match in 1998.

Former Celtic and Manchester United midfielder Liam Miller has died at the age of 36.

Miller, who won 21 caps for the Republic of Ireland between 2004 and 2009, had been suffering from cancer.

 

 

Aww man that is really sad :( , I remember him playing for Man United briefly and I think he scored in a Champions League match for us if I remember correctly. Only 36 as well, he could have still been playing football now if it wasn't for his illness. This year is turning into a weekly minute of applause for footballers :(

RIP Scott Westgarth- A British boxer aged 31.

A legend of British athletics.

Very sad news. :'(

RIP Sir Roger Bannister.

There are shock reports in Udine that Fiorentina and Italy defender Davide Astori has died in his sleep.

 

The centre-back turned 31 in January and was the captain of the Viola squad, with 14 senior Italy caps and one goal to his name.

 

According to Udine Today, the player failed to wake up this morning when he was at the La di Moret hotel in Udine on a training camp with the squad, awaiting today’s match with Udinese.

 

RIP Davide Astori

 

 

That's awful to hear, thoughts are with his family.

Fiorentina and Caligari have both retired their Number 13 shirts in memory of Astori.

Very sad news that Ray Wilkins has died. RIP.

R.I.P Ray Wilkins. When I heard that he had a cardiac arrest I was hoping that he would pull through but cardiac arrests are very hard to survive :(
