SAD! Nigerian player dies on Romanian Pitch

Henry Chinonso Ihelewere
A Nigerian player, Henry Chinonso Ihelewere, has died after suffering a cardiac arrest during a friendly match between Romanian second division teams CS Delta Tulcea and FC Balotesti on Sunday.
Delta’s Ihelewere, 21, collapsed with no-one around him only
15 minutes after coming on as a second-half substitute. The game was played in the town of Baltoesti, north of Bucharest.
He was taken to hospital but he never regained consciousness. The striker had been playing in Romania since 2007 when he joined Farul Constanta. He later moved to Tulcea in 2010.

...What a great loss! May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace....Amen! Our prayer goes to his family.
