Always one of my favourite players.
Such sad news.
Just because a post upsets you, that doesn’t mean that it is wrong. People have different views in all aspects of life, this is a key ingredient to an interesting conversation.

So young. What a wonderful heart breaker of a player he was. One of the legendary wingers. That semi final in 1999 ... He was inspirational. Sad day.

A tragic end. He was one of the most exciting French players in the immediate post-amateur era. The coverage in the French media this morning are full of innuendo about his demise and tales of involvement last summer with an Emirates group interesting in taking over Beziers with him as a front man.

RIP

And gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby, I don't want to live FOREVER!

I absolutely loved him when I was a kid. I thought he was the coolest player I'd ever seen. By all accounts he was an amazing team-mate and an inspiring man wherever he played. Everybody spoke of how generous, thoughtful and brave he was. God rest him.

RIP, I don’t know much about cricket, but he was a wizard with the ball whenever I watched him play
