    Pretty sad to read this.

    Papa Bouba Diop dies at just 42

    Very young and dies after a long illness.

    Diop made 129 appearances in the Premier League, scoring eight goals, and also had spells in England with West Ham and Birmingham City.

    He played for Senegal at the 2002 World Cup and scored the winner in the tournament's opening game as his country beat France 1-0.


    RIP

    I’m honestly gutted about this, one of my favourite ever players, purely because for about 10 years he was a FM stalwart.

    cracking player, too yoing at 42 man

    That win against France was epic. Put African football on the map for a lot of people. RIP Papa :shamrock:
