RIP legend. Bright start but unfortunate end. Another “what if”moment if we get some senior Spanish players around.

don't think he ever really settled, that prank call was the deal sealer.
I remember reading he had a very strong accent and his Spanish may have been hard to understand for a native, making setting in even harder both In England and in Spain

It was a bit of a sad thing to hear about bullies in the dressing room. He probably couldn’t get along well with anyone and the French core is pretty strong and united.

There is nothing I wouldn't give to have him in the current squad, our LW problems would be solved.
Loved seeing him play, really miss him, RIP

Why do we Martyr this guy? He was driving over 130mph and killed other people in the crash.
Pathetic

He wasn’t travelling at that speed though was he

u/Rwm148731 13h ago
In all transparency, I remember it being highly over the speed limit and I checked again this morning before I went on my harsh comment but yeah. It was 135mph minimum.

u/dcdoesntsurf 13h ago
More like 118mph (187kmh) based on the final report. But yeah not a lot in it. Very reckless.

u/Robertf16 13h ago
There are several sources stating similar

u/Rwm148731 13h ago
Official statements from the government state a minimum of 137 and max of 147mph not KMH. This is via the Guardian Civil so about as official as you can get.

I dealt the guy in the car was being held against his will. If you want to get in a supercar with someone who's speeding that's on you. I'd tell my friend to stop fucking about and let me out.

Footballer Jose Antonio Reyes was driving at 135mph when he crashed https://news.sky.com/share/11735564
One outlet, one football related both quoting official verdict.
Please appreciate id love to be wrong, Arsenal fan here who remembers the day we signed him but this isn’t right

I understand your point. i just don't know what the different between him and Jota.

u/Rwm148731 7h ago
I don’t disagree at all with Jota either, I see no difference in the POV that they died via reckless means.

What the fuck is wrong with you?
Guy dies doing something potentially stupid and because of that you want him erased?
Does your shit not stink?

His 23 year old cousin was in the passenger seat, he died.
Killing a younger family member through reckless driving.. i wouldnt forgive him if I was the father of the cousin.
