Hmmm... Reading the New Paper this afternoon... Noticed there was a extensive 2-page article on Antonio Puerta...
People who follow soccer closely would know who this is... 22-year-old Antonio Puerta (1984 - 2007), plays for Sevilla and is a Spanish International... He collapsed last week (Saturday) during a La Liga match against Gatafe... He was rushed to the hospital and was pronounced dead at 1230 Singapore time yesterday... His death is primarily caused by postanoxic encephalopathy and a multiple failure of his organs caused by prolonged cardiac arrest...
He is good player... With a record to match:
26 Nov 1984 - Born in Seville, Spain
2002 - Joins Sevilla B team
19 Sep 2004 - Made his debut in the Primera Liga as a sub in a 3-0 win over Levante

In dedication to a promising young player... Who did very well in his lustrious career... A fulfilling 22 years spend in this world...
