Football Took A Step Back



This is the time when football has to take a back seat when you could see the sufferings from others.

Antonio Puerta, Sevilla and Spanish right back, had unfortunately passed away due to heart problems. Puerta, who won back-to-back UEFA Cups and the King's Cup with Sevilla, collapsed after jogging back towards his own goal 35 minutes into Saturday's game against Getafe.

Although he was able to walk off the pitch he collapsed again in the changing rooms and had to be given cardiac resuscitation before being taken to hospital.Sadly, he was unable to hang on and has left us.

Condolences to his loved ones and it's always sad to see such things happening.



In Liverpool, a 11 year old boy, Rhys Davies, was unfortunately killed and shot a week ago. He was an Everton fan and this brought the whole city together. When these things happened, we don't really care which club you support or how much differences you have among the clubs.

The family of Rhys Davies, was in Anfield this morning and a piece of music, also known as Johnny Todd, is used by city rivals Everton was being played ahead of Reds' traditional athem, You'll Never Walk Alone.

My deepest condolences to his loved ones and family, I hope that the truth would come to light very soon.

You'll Never Walk Alone..
