Only 40 years old, Jesus, R.I.P. Junior, my thoughts go out to all your family and friends.

Remember always buying him on Football Manager!

That’s a name I’ve not heard for years. A bit of a lower league cult hero around 2004-2009. 

Sounds like he’s had it tough post-football. RIP.

I don't think it will harm being posted in here too @Pyfish as he did play for the likes of Forrest etc in the Football League

Unreal news. I haven't thought of him in years, but definitely remember him at Bristol Rovers, in the MLS, and then at Forest. 

Incredibly sad to hear, although it sounds like he has struggled greatly since having his stroke. 

RIP Agogo.

RIP Agogo. I think that stroke that he had is clearly what eventually led to his sad premature death. He died so young, my condolences go out to his family and his close friends.
