Andres Escobar

The most brutal and shocking of them all, the death of Colombian star Andres Escobar, in 1994, shook the world to its core.

On the night of July 2, 1994, Andrés Escobar was murdered in front of a nightclub in the city of Medellín. The defender was considered the main responsible for the defeat of 2 to 1 of Colombia to the United States in that year's World Cup.

Officially it has not been proven that the murder was related to the defeat at the World Cup and 1994. However, it is speculated that the death was commissioned by Colombian gamblers who lost a lot of money with the result.


Bernardo Ribeiro

Brazilian attacking midfielder Bernardo Ribeiro passed away at the age of 26, just 1 day after Patrick Ekeng died, on May 7th, 2016. Ribeiro fell ill whilst playing for Friburguense in his homeland Brazil and had to be substituted. Upon arrival at the hospital, he suffered a heart attack and passed away shortly after.

Robert Enke

German goalkeeper Robert Enke is better known for stints at Benfica and Barcelona.

The stopper is believed to have taken his own life by purposely standing in front of a train on May 10th, 2009. A suicide note was subsequently discovered by police, but they rightfully refused to go into details.

He was suffering depression because he had lost his two-year-old daughter Lara to a heart condition in 2006 and was said to be fearful of his adopted daughter being taken away from him.


Miklos Feher

Hungarian forward Miklos Feher passed away while playing for Benfica on January 5th, 2004.

Feher was revived by the team’s medical staff and was taken to a nearby hospital after, but much like in the case of Morosino, the ambulance faced trouble accessing the pitch.

The striker did not even make it to midnight and was pronounced dead at hospital. He was 24 years at the time of death.

Stefan Petrovski

The 18-year-old goalkeeper died in May this year (2016) through the most unlucky way possible. Petrovski, an Australian who played for Melaka United in Malaysia’s second tier, met his end after being struck by lightning.

At one point it seemed like he was on his way to recovering, but a month later, he would pass away as his brain was swollen and he lacked oxygen.
