His wiki (in English anyway) was unclear if he was still playing at the time of his death. Was he?

I said what I meant and I meant what I said.

 

The term is “sexually transmitted infections” in the UK, at least by NHS standards. It was renamed from “sexually transmitted diseases” as infections is more of a catch-all term, and it includes “diseases”.
