Did he speak much English? He struggled to settle in London, think he said in one of the interviews coming from Seville to London it was too much of a culture shock it getting dark at 5 and all the shops shutting at that time.
Of course not. But in this world his name is more widely known than the majority so of course people will feel a distant connection having watched him play live or indeed support one of the teams he played for.
They do and people are sorry for it, a well known person is why it's in here.
Wish all their families well.Oh think before you post will you ffs.
There's always one
What an incredibly crass post.
No one said it was, but many people will have ‘known’ him/known of him for 15+ years. Is it really a surprise when it strikes a chord with people?
Has the cause been made known?
Is that what happened? Was it speeding? Was Reyes driving or his cousin or friend? Did they swerve to avoid an obstacle or another car in their lane by mistake and they were driving safely?
He spoke English fairly well from what I can remember.
I’m sad when anyone I know or know of dies young like that. If for example you died in an accident and it was posted here I would feel sad that someone from the forum had passed.
Clickbait.
.He was driving his car at 200kph when the limit is 120kph. So no, he wasn't driving safely and whether he had to swerve or avoid something is irrelevant. Car ablaze, instant death for all but his cousin who died a couple of hours later.
Spanish press say it could be excessive speed. His car left the road and spun for a fair distance so imagine he was going at speed.
To be fair, I remember there was some episode with him missing Spain, his mum being taken for a ride by some "clever" journalists, his gypsy links being used to run him down. I had grown to dislike him purely for tribal reasons, but had a lot of sympathy for him after that. It just made you think of him as a human being, if you know what I mean.Well, I'm a bit taken aback by the extent of the love for him on here. None of you are ''top reds'' that's for sure,
I'll just say it like that because anything else/more is going to look a bit naff in the circumstances.
I mean he only played 69 games in English football for a massively disliked rival of ours (you would have thought). Although he was from what I remember massively hyped by Arsenal supporters - almost to a ridiculous extent. (like they do)
And he was a proper cheaty jessie on the park - from the 'top red' perspective previously mentioned.
I wouldn't let most of you even post here if it was up to me.
How good was he back in Spanish football anyway? Does someone want to tell me about that?
His pre Arsenal stats look significantly better than when he returned to me. Won a decent amount of medals mind, by any standards.
Loads of people speed though. People I know regularly top 100mph even when they've had a drink. Drives me mad. In Andorra (just north of Catalonia) they're genuinely crazy.
100 kph is nothing dude, usually its passing speed in the city, unless you meant mph.
Very silky footballer and a very young man. I mean 35 is no age at all is it? Thoughts go out to his family.Yes. I think I do know what you mean. That's a good point.
To be fair the info coming out now i wasn't aware of when I posted and if true then I'll take my statement back.
Yeah sorry meant mph
What city has a 100kph speed limit?
Definitely not where I live.
Neither the time nor the place.
Where was he trying to shop? The Post Office?
Sorry guys im currently on holiday in Spain and from What I can gather all the press here say he was indeed speeding.
Even where I live, with very relaxed rules, 100 kph isn't the passing speed in the city.
Let's not argue about it mate. When I posted there was no indication who did what and how it happened, hence the post as it came across he was at fault just because he died.
