Cheick Tiote dead, aged 30. Waiting for BBC/NUFC confirmation but Demba Ba just tweeted it so I'd be surprised if it's not true.

just read that and came here to post about it...

unbelievable. truly underrated player for his entire career, was a tank in the midfield and made some truly game changing tackles.

RIP

Bloody Hell. Footy is getting to be a dangerous sport. Didn't have the greats dying off young in the old days.

I wonder what's going on.

They play too many games.

Peter Sallis who voiced Wallace in Wallace and Gromit passed away 96. RIP
