I was just thinking this myself, and why the police were called in the first place. Has he had some kind of problems?
 
My home town. Obviously pretty horrendous news, as far as I know he's had his problems over the last few years but obviously you don't expect that kind of reaction when struck by a supposedly non-lethal weapon.

Christ! That's mad.

Very sad however can't help but want to know more details about what he was doing to get tasered.
 
thats a name from the past!! Didn't score tap ins if I recall,scored some belters in the Premiers opening season. Sad
 
Unbelievable. Still remember him scoring against us in the 1994 League Cup final. That Villa team wasn't bad for a couple of years was it? Biggest obstacle to us ending the 26 years of hurt. Crazy he's dead.

Know what you mean- would assume he was acting strangely or in a threatening way, but who knows?
 
What the feck?

Terrible :(

Impossible to say at this stage but your taser is really the last tactical option for an unarmed officer to go for so you would hope he must have been offering violence or armed.
 
I have vague, and possibly inaccurate, memories of him from the 'Saint and Greavsie' show that used to be on. Pretty sure they had a sprint off and he was the fastest guy (or one of).
 
Legend that guy.
Always remember him and Saunders causing havoc.
R.I.P
 
RIP big guy, that is far too young to die, especially under such terrible circumstances.
THAT goal against Wimbledon.
 
supposedly they tasered him as they feared for the 'safety of an individual'
supposedly it triggered a heart attack
 
Blimey, he was a good player in the day, I used to sign him as backup to sparky on champ man 93
 
One of my favourite non-United players in the early years of the Premier League. This is sad.
