Devastating for those close to him and also involved in what I presume is an accident. Just awful news.

Struck by a train is a horrible way to go.
There’s obviously going to be an investigation, so won’t jump the gun either.

Still remember him signing for Arsenal, was almost a constant in squads when I actually cared about football.

RIP Alex

Same, I don't reckon I could name the starting GK in 15 teams now let alone their second keeper

Wasn't there a period Seaman got injured and Manninger stepped in and kept 6/7 clean sheets in a row?

 

[N.S.N.O.]

Very sad, RIP

 

[Sadken]

Have the reds claimed him yet?

 

[Preki]

I saw him keep Lazio at bay playing for Siena years ago. A very good keeper.
RIP

 

[The Penalty Box Dancer]

Always remember him as a young up and coming keeper behind Seaman and Lehmann. Sad news.

 

[BoysPenLad]

Have the reds claimed him yet?

Yep. Been called a legend after one season with them at the end of his playing days.

Shouldn't laugh really
