    Thats now him and Puerta who have passed away tragically. Clive Clarke was in the same boat until he got revived a few times.

    Didnt realise that he was still playin.
    Was a decent player in the days that Celtic were crap, and strangely (or maybe not) they were more likeable in them days too.

    Horrible news, RIP.

    Anyone catch that program on TG4 a while back on professional footballers dropping dead while playing? They were linking it to the painkillers the players are getting given when injured and the how freely they're available to them. O'Donnell was often injured, it may well be something they should look into.

    Its happening too often, Too many young fit lads, tragic loss, I hope to god that can find the cause, and perhaps prevent this from happening, to some other family, RIP Phil,

    I agree with Pam, it's shocking how common this is becoming lately...all seem to be connected with heart problems in some way. Questions must be asked now to come to the root of the problem. There must be something that is triggering this, whether it is strain or excessive pressure on a certain area it is clear that enough is not done...
