MarcJWallace 270 Posted December 16, 2022 Some tragic news from Switzerland (again) tonight as the tragic death of Elia Alessandrini has been announced at the age of just 25. The central defender joined second-tier side Stade Lausanne-Ouchy from SC Kriens in the summer and had made five appearances in the Swiss Challenge League this season. He spent the majority of his youth career with BSC Young Boys, joining FC Thun, Kriens and Chiasso on loan deals before leaving YB permanently for Kriens in August 2020. No cause of death is publically available right now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry about the shiity source https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11586267/Marc-Overmars-recovering-hospital-stroke-confirm-Royal-Antwerp.html While I don't easily wish bad stuff upon people, I'm glad at least he has some bad luck after what he's done. He was an influential man at Ajax for years, all the while sending young co-workers pictures of the wrong kind of balls, and after the news dropped and he had to leave, found another job with Antwerp in a couple of weeks and went on with his career like nothing happened. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
