Re: Terrible raw memories of Foe!

Have just heard that ex Birmingham player Chrisitan Beneitez has died of a heart attack at the age of 27 having played his 1st game for a team in Qatar!
It brings up terrible feelings of the same fate suffered by our Marc Vivien Foe.

I know it's not related but should FIFA really be considering a World Cup there?!

It's a terrible thing to happen but why would it affect having a World Cup there? Are you suggesting the heat could have caused the heart attack? I would imagine being from Ecuador he would be used to playing in pretty hot temperatures.

Huh? So he's died from appendicitis, car failure or a heart attack?

He was admitted with appendicitis and left unattended for hours, the appendicitis developed into peritonitis and he went into respiratory arrest and died.
 
It's a truly sad story and one is taken back to when Marc-Vivien Foe died. It's always a shock to see such young and fit athletes taken so early.

If there is any kind of comfort, it must be that he didn't play for Liverpool. Imagine that?

At first when I heard Benitez dead, I thought they meant Rafa.
