Whenever a young person passes away it is always devastating, heartbreaking news but when it’s someone you feel so familiar with, someone you have watched and adored from afar, playing for the club you love, it always hits home a bit more.

It’s such horrendous and shocking news. My thoughts go out to all his friend, family and loved ones.

Diogo Jota was easy to love as a football fan. He scored goals and he worked hard. He gave everything on the pitch and always had knack of popping up with a crucial finish. Whenever you do both those things, it’s only natural you become a fan favourite.
