one of my favourite Extra’s episodes.Shelbourne FC
We are heartbroken to have to confirm the news that our Academy U16 player, Izzy Dezu, collapsed and died during a match last night.
The thoughts of everyone at Shelbourne FC are with his family and friends who have been devastated by his tragic loss.
May he rest in peace.
****, I do remember him as Hull's hottest property. I can't recall exactly what era and even what level he reached? How old was he when he died?Just had a phone call telling me Ricky has just passed away. I was brought up with Ricky, lived on the same street down hessle road, he went out with my sister. I remember the big fight at city hall, area title I think, he lost but apparently it was a hell of a scrap, I was in the merchant navy at the time and was away at sea. In his later years things were not so great, but I will always remember him from those early years. God rest your soul Ricky, your at peace now mate... RIP Ricky Beaumont, very much a hull lad...

As an 11/12 yo I avidly read the Sports Mail/ back pages of HDM. Without the extensive sports coverage on tv, our local 'superstars' were legends in my eyes. RIP RickyHe was 2/3 years younger than me - I'm guessing 61/62, I knew him from the Hessle Road pubs and clubs in the mid 70's. A sound lad, taken too young. RIP Ricky.
My cousin, Darren Craven, used to box at the same club, I tried it once and it hurt so I ****ed off sharpish.I certainly remember him, as you say gone too young, RIP Ricky.
