the last bit is a bit spooky...sorry to hear about your dad.. My dad had me late in life he was 55-ish. so around 70 when he died back in 1993.. The good old cigarettes did for him.. emphysema and a chest infection a double whammy..
Thankfully i have never smoked.. I remember going into his bedroom and saying dad,dad. and he just laid there (sorry sounding morbid now)... Anyway I hope in time Jota's kids can find a father figure of some kind. it will never replace their real father.. But to this day..I never really knew my dad in later life.which is what i still miss..
The whole thing around the sad accident to Jota and his brother, brings home life and how fragile it can be. And everyone has a story to share on this subject.
we all have to move on and face each thing as it comes. such a sad thing that happened, Even other clubs fans and players have come together to mark this tragedy. Which is someways shows we are united and putting rivalries apart
Wow fair play to him having you at 55....My Great Uncle was a 60 a day Woodbine smoker from the age of about 14/15..How he lived till 80 is a miracle...In the last year before he died he'd had both legs above the knee amputated basically because his feet and lower legs turned black due to lack of circulation.....Tell you another spooky thing....I'm still very much into CM 01/02(2022 data update)..and the night before we'd all heard about Jota and his brother passing I was playing as Bradford City up against Man City away,my lads won 4-1 and who gets the City goal?.....Dioga Jota.....
Only just read this just,my dad also died when I was 14 on 1st May 1982(misadventure verdict,he was pissed and choked on his own vomit at the age of 36)....7 years later in 1989 my Great Uncle and one of my Great Aunt's died on the same night in the same house I live in now....I went to bed and my other 2 great aunt's(all brothers and sisters) heard her say to my great Uncle before going upstairs 'John,don't go tonight we'll go together'...Both died overnight...still gives me the shivers now all these years later!...
My mam died suddenly when I was 14 too and on the 7th May in 1985. Very young and fit, non smoker, non drinker, 4ft 11in of fiery but protective wonderfulness x Brain Aneurysm had her!!!
R.I.P Diogo. So sorry for his wife and those babies x
I'm not ashamed to say I've cried buckets over this. I know first hand how this tragedy will impact his children's lives for the rest of their lives because I've lived it x.
