V četrtek naj bi po poročanju angleških medijev v londonski bolnišnici v 41. letu starosti preminil nekdanji nogometaš ter ganski reprezentant, Junior Agogo.

Junior Agogo sealed his place in the hearts of #Ghana fans with his performances at the 2008 AFCON where he scored three goals including a late winner against Nigeria in Accra.

Šlo je za v Gani enega izmed najbolj priljubljenih nogometašev, ki je reprezentančne barve branil na 27 tekmah, leta 2008 pa je bil glavni igralec in strelec svoje reprezentance na Afriškem pokalu nacij, ko se je Gana prebila do bronaste medalje. Tekom cele svoje profesionalne kariere, katero je večinoma preživel v Angliji, je zbral 143 zadetkov, od tega 12 v dresu z državnim grbom.
Leta 2015, dve leti po svoji upokojitvi, je doživel možgansko kapo in se od takrat boril s stalnimi zdravstvenimi težavami. Po napadu naj tudi ne bi bil več sposoben govoriti, pogosti pa so bili napadi panike.
Rest in Peace Junior Agogo. My thoughts prayers are with your family and loved ones your family at this time🙏 .#RIPJAGOGO .#life #time #football #ghana #blackstar pic.twitter.com/y3TFQEcX4C
