Cheick Tiote- RIP

[Nerik]

Ex-Newcastle player. Aged 30. Just popped up on my newsfeed.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

f***ing hell

[Nerik]

Collapsed during training and died shortly afterwards. Was playing in the Chinese league. 

[Tobes Rafa]

Bloody hell!

[Cam]

Jeez.

[Tones]

That awful news. Was rated highly here a couple of seasons back, linked with a few big clubs. Not that that matters, terrible news.

[Swipe]

30 years old. Awful. 

[Ombudsam]

f***ing rough.

[Buttles]

Desperately sad. Keep seeing the amazing goal against Arsenal on my newsfeed. He certainly caught hold of that.

[New York Red]

He was really good in that one season for Newcastle. RIP.

[Leo No.8]

Awful, so unfair. RIP.

[New York Red]

This is a list of players who have died. It looks to me that the number of players who have just dropped dead since Marc Vivian-Foe have been disproportionately African or one generation away. It cannot be genetic. I'm wondering if there is some diuretic or other drug that makes the rounds like the one that Sakho was secretly taking.

I'm sure you realise that would be a bit crazy to speculate about without knowing the rates in the general population.
