This is extremely sad.My deepest condolenses go out to him and his family.May this be a wake up call to everyone who is reading this.None of us are guaranteed another day here on earth so make sure that you are ready to meet God.If you meet God as a liar,blapshemer,adulterer,murderer,thief which every one of us has to admitt we have transgressed in at least 1 point then God has to give us justice and the punishment for sin is hell.There is however forgiveness of sins though repentance(Confession of sins to God) and then putting our faith and trust in Jesus CHrist who God put on the cross to deal with and pay the price for our sins because of his grace( Unmeritted favour)

Iâ€™m from Seville, Iâ€™m 22 as he was, and I can tell weâ€™re very sad here for this tragic event. His death has brought all the city together, forgetting the rivality here between our two football clubs (Sevilla and Betis) for the first time in history. Itâ€™s very moving seeing the signs of affection people are showing for him and his family. He lived near me and I sometimes saw him taking a walk, everyone could talk to him since he was very nice and pleasant, modest and humane, so was his family, as far as I know; also he was very mature and clever. I didnâ€™t really think this was going to happen when he was able to leave the field almost on his own, and the next 2days when I heard the latest newsâ€¦it came as a shock to me, very sad. We should show some respect. As far as I know, Anubhav is right; he had an arrithmia in his heart, but no-one could have told it as it was a hidden disease, the first sign was the faint and then the heart attack came. Although he had fainted more than once before, the medical screening he had to pass 14 days before his last match didnâ€™t reveal anything dangerous.
Not only a good footballer, but a wonderful person too.
RIP Antonio,

Descansa en Paz Antonio Puerta, siempre estarÃ¡s en nuestros corazones.

JB it’s always the same thing:
a new med giant finds a new way to “hide” the steroids by the tests or new ways to increase the red blood cells.So,new track stars are ready for new records and new football teams make their own “records”.Coaches manage to make super heroes ot of nowhere.Do you remember the BALCO case,kenteris,marion jones?
It’s the same thing in football. If you can hide the wrongful part of your job,which is mortal for your players,then you can succeed.
When a new drug comes out the old ones(drugs and athletes) are useless,cause they can’t make money anymore by using them.So,they call them illegal and suddenly track stars and footballers don’t pass the tests.That’s how the system works.

NiKOS niether of those stories have much to do with the incident. Both are focused on Italian football, the first in almost a decade old while the second mentions a variety of medical issues but NOT heart problems.

not been a good week for football.

This tragedy, Ray Jones killed in a car crash, he was just 18, then last night, Clive Clarke collapsed in the changing rooms and his heart stopped and was rushed to hospital after paramedics had to use a defibrillator to restart his heart.

RIP Antonio and Ray and get better soon Clive.

QPR are also retiring the No. 31 shirt as a tribute to Ray

RIP Antonio. Such a tragedy. He was a talented player, his career was on the rise, he got his first cap recently, and he was to become a father next month. So fucking cruel! Life can be so unfair.
