I guess we could have a thread for football players that passed away.

Sadly, Reyes died in a car crash. He is the former Arsenal, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Benfica player.

Terrible. Still such a young man too. RIP

 

[Devious]

RIP

One of my favorite players from the Arsenal golden era, was a raw talent.

 

[Kramerica Industries]

Holy shit.

El coche de Reyes iba a 237 kms/hora

237 kilometers per hour, or 147 mph. Are you fucking kidding me?

According to reports from Argentina, Maradona has passed away. R.I.P. Pibe d'Oro.

According to reports from Argentina, Maradona has passed away. R.I.P. Pibe d'Oro.

Because of cardiac arrest. He's one of my childhood hero. I still remember his magic at Mexico 86 world cup.

One of the most exciting player to ever grace the football, a true legend, a rockstar, an artist.

RIP.

Despite all his problems, his legacy is undeniable! He was a football god, changed the game! May he find peace in the hereafter. Truly sad, what a year, 2020 eh?

Excellent stuff by L'équipe !

May he rest in peace. I never cared for the man to be honest, but the player was pure magic.

Cocaine has lost a dear friend.

As a wall of widsom says in Argentina: we don't care what you did with your life, we only care about what you did/meant for our lives.

Honestly this kind of saying applies to many larger than life sports people (mostly) that we've seen in the last 50 years.
