[Laudrup1]

Reports coming out of Argentina that he's died at 60.

 

[Teddyjohn]

News breaking now.

 

[Boab4]

Shame, what a player he was.

 

[douzpwa]

Wow RIP Diego

 

[stewarty]

Sad news. Is this confirmed?

 

[Brian Laudrup]

Not seeing anything

 

[BlueSeaOfIbrox]

Wow

 

[Beer Belly Loyal]

Sorry to hear this.

 

[Laudrup1]

Sad news. Is this confirmed?

Seems so

Tragic life he led in many ways towards the end. His documentary was something else.

I think he was the first proper star I was aware of in football beyond me watching Rangers. The 86 WC is one of my early football memories.

 

[drgriffen]

Nothing verified but a number of reports in Argentina are saying that he has died.

He was recently in hospital.

 

[insanicdrunk]

ffs, just out of hospital for alcohol dependency

 

[fmp]

Not seeing it anywhere else yet.

 

[CooperBlue]

[Danger Zone]

Holy shit. I had a feeling this was coming after recent news of his health.

 

[BrooklynBlue]

What a shit year...

 

[Zadok]

Heart attack apparently

 

[Teddyjohn]

60, no age.

He’s had a cocaine habit for about three decades.

 

[drgriffen]

Reports are saying he had a heart attack.

 

[SGL]

Did he not just have surgery for a clot?

A hell of a player, if not a role model, and deservedly recognised as amongst the greatest there has been.

 

[AllyRFC]

Ffs, RIP Diego.

 

[SasaPapacLoyal54]

My all time favourite non-Rangers player.

Loved his mentalness.

RIP

 

[hunter1rfc]

Surely not, he isn't that old.

Hope this isn't true.

He just had brain surgery I think

Did well to make it to 60 with his lifestyle.

 

[prenzlauerbear]

Surely not, he isn't that old.

Hope this isn't true.

60, albeit that's quite impressive if the rumours he was banging gear for the best part of 20 years is true.

Legend.

 

[Dalmuirbear]

RIP Diego

As a footballer he was an absolute genius

 

[Ally Shuffle]

Lifesyle he had was lucky to make 60 - some player but his treatment of Ricksen leqaves a bitter taste

 

[oranje-viola]

Sad sad news. The greatest ever and such a colourful, passionate and articulate man despite his impoverished upbringing and demons

 

[erskine bear]

Wow, rest in peace Diego.

 

[Gazza4d]

Quite a few sources stating it now

 

[KensingtonBlue]

With the life he led, he did well to last that long.

What a man.

 

[Arkanoid]

Fucking end this year
Best ever for me

 

[BWO]

RIP the greatest player of all time
