That's a bit nuts, those things cannot be safe.

 

R.I.P.

I remember this lad playing footy in the top flight. Them eyes that always looked in shock.

I liked him....god bless.

 

Would always nod to himself when he got it right. Was a hell of a player for a while at Villa, under Ron. Very sad.

 

Very sad loss

But why was a tazzer used, that is the question.

 

No, it really isn't.

 

It is

A man has died because of a Tazzer, so why was it used.

 

It is a question for another day. And there is no answer to it that would stop this being a sad thing. Maybe his life turned sour and he became an arsehole - I don't know - but this fall from being a top player to someone who dies like this is very sad. It could turn into a bigger story if it was used unnecessarily, but that can wait till later.

 

True

 

Unreal news. Tidy player back in the day. First player to score in the prem I think someone just told me.

R.I.P.

 

Absolute shocker this. Poor bloke
