OK, I know how this is gonna sound, and I don't wanna sound like a heartless cunt, but I'm gonna say it...
The fact he was driving at 135mph does put this story into context.... and the fact his stupidity took the life of someone else (his Cousin) means he is/was responsible for someone else's death...
I wonder if people still think that deserved the 'round of apapplause' he received before Saturday's match??
Had he killed a child/family, would we also be applauding THAT, just cos he kicked a ball for a living?!!
This 'minute of silence/respect/applause' that football people get from fans, regardless of the circumstances of their death/life should REALLY be looked at....
I wonder if Barry Bennal will get a moment's silence from 'the football Family' when he eventually dies?
...and I can only imagine the reaction Sol Campbell gets one day... and he didn't even KILL anyone!!

Nah, just his Cousin... who didn't asked to be killed...
That's OK then I guess!!
The pretty big IF you mention is the 'IF they had survived' after crashing at 135mph!
Tragic. Poor family
Driving at that speed you are asking for trouble. Either gonna kill yourself and/or your passengers. And worse still could kill a child or any other member of the public. Obviously he has done it to himself and someone connected to him. Sheer boneheaded. A complete waste. I am still sad that this happened. Thing is there are loads of others who act like muppets behind a wheel. So sadly it will happen to many others.
Terrible news.
I think it was almost inevitable, quite a well known player in a tragic accident at that age, I think he also played for Atletico and Real during his career.
Just clocked this. Mental.
