Survival rate is about 90% for that stage so hopefully he won’t be a DDP hit in the coming years. Brooks reporting the all-clear from cancer on his Twitter today, which should give the Cherries a bit of encouragement ahead of tonight's promotion six-pointer with Forest. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarcJWallace 270 Posted May 9, 2022 Horrific news coming out of The Netherlands this morning as the death of Jody Lukoki has been confirmed by the Dutch Press. Born in Zaire, now the Democratic Republic of Congo, he graduated from the Ajax Academy and played 24 games for the club, scoring five goals between 2010 and 2014, winning three Eredivisie titles with them. He spent the 2013-14 season on-loan at Cambuur Leeuwarden where he played 32 times and scored twice in their first Eredivisie campaign since the turn of the century. Moving on from Ajax permanently to PEC Zwolle, he won the Johan Cruijff Schaal, the Dutch equivalent of the Charity/Community Shield with them before moving after one season to Bulgarian side Ludogorets Razgrad. It was with them he experienced his most sustained success, making 102 appearances and scoring 17 times while winning four Bulgarian titles and two Bulgarian Super Cups. After leaving Bulgaria, he signed for Yeni Malatyaspor in the Turkish Super League, making ten appearances before returning to Holland to play for FC Twente, where he didn't make an appearance before being released in February. He was recently given a suspended jail sentence for assaulting his girlfriend, presumably what contributed to his release from Twente and possibly his own death. https://www.nu.nl/voetbal/6199668/voormalig-eredivisie-speler-jody-lukoki-op-29-jarige-leeftijd-overleden.html 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aw man, that's really sad - he was there in some of the worst times we had and - fair play - when he was transfer listed because a couple of the new boys were playing really well he said he was happy to stay and fight for a place. He got the odd game from then on and stayed in the Conference to the end of the season when we'd won back our league place. Did way better elsewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
