UPDATE - 2:15pm on Thursday 19th March: Cardiff City sadly confirmed has passing.

UPDATE - 1pm on Wednesday 18th March: He is in hospital, fighting for his life with head injuries sustained by falling down the stairs

ORIGINAL POST:

The former Aston Villa, Burnley, Derby County, Cardiff City and Blackburn Rovers man - only 35 years of age, has reportedly passed away following injuries sustained in a fall at his home.

He is seen as a Cardiff legend, for his contributions in his 10 year stay between 2007-2017 and particularly during the promotion season of 2012/2013.

May he rest in peace.

Holy ****. Terrible news. He tore us to bits on several occasions as I recall.

Shocking news. RIP.

Not yet confirmed but I fear it is true. If so awful news.

Michael Chopra seems to think it's true so I presume it is. Very sad news, he was one of those players who maybe wasn't consistent enough to hit the very top, but had tremendous quality and always seemed to do well against us. Felt like he scored a 25 yarder every time we played Cardiff.

 

[Monketron]

Looking at the Cardiff forum it seems it happened a little while back and he's been in a coma since but took a turn for the worst recently. RIP if true.

That’s a real shame. Weren’t we in for him for a couple of seasons running?

Good player, as mentioned, always seemed to tear us apart.

Seemed to be a consistently solid performer for what felt like decades! Always seemed to be amongst the goals.

Turns out he’s only months older than me. Very sad news. RIP

 

[Jonzy54]

I know Wiki isn’t the oracle but his death is being listed as today

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

Wow. I certainly wasn't expecting to read that when I opened the thread. Very sad.
He was a player for a while that I really wish we had. Lovely technician and passer of the ball.

 

[ShropshireLad]

Sad news, indeed.

I personally know of two people who died that way...as well as Sandy Denny. Always take care whilst on the stairs!

 

[The Professional]

Great player, wonderful left foot that oozed class on the pitch. What a shame. God Rest.

 

[Ercall Wolves]

Absolute tragedy
Thought and prayers to all his family and friends at this sad time

 

[Corbyns left foot]

Terrible shame. Was a class player and one I would have loved down the Wolves in his heyday.

Someone I worked with died like that-he was drunk .Also,thevhusband of a friend of my wife was going upstairs and his mother in law started to come down so remembering not to cross on the stairs he turned round to go back down but slipped and fell down about 6 steps .He jumped up but said he felt dizzy so went for a lie down, slipped into a coma and never regained consciousness.So sad.

Jeez, RIP fella

 

[Golden_Wolf]

RIP

 

[JadeWolf]

Sad news. What an awful year so far.

might be mixing things up but did he score two free kicks in the same game against us once? Always thought he was one of those players who was top class in the championship.

 

[Surrey Wolf]

very sad, liked him as a player

 

[clivewolves]

Awful news.

He didn't fall down the stairs though, involved in something at a pub in Barry.

Tragic! One of the cases I referred to above was someone who’d been drinking - was a neighbour of my uncle in Whitchurch.
