    When you see the demise of such a young man with his future unfufilled it certainly brings things into perspective . . . . . .


    Rushden and Diamonds goalkeeper Dale Roberts dies

    Rushden and Diamonds goalkeeper Dale Roberts has died at the age of 24, the club has announced.

    It has yet to be revealed how the former Nottingham Forest player died.

    In a statement on the Rushden and Diamonds' website, chairman Gary Calder said: "Our thoughts and prayers at this time go to his parents, family and friends."

    The FA Trophy second round replay game against Eastwood Town, which was due to take place on Tuesday, was postponed.

    Roberts joined Diamonds from Forest in January 2009 and was an England C international.


    Dale Roberts remembered by former clubs

    The former clubs of Dale Roberts have been paying their respects after the 24-year-old goalkeeper died on Tuesday.

    Roberts, who started his career at Nottingham Forest, had loan spells with Eastwood Town and Alfreton Town before joining Rushden & Diamonds in 2009.

    "Our thoughts and prayers at this time go to his parents, family and friends," said Diamonds chairman Gary Calder.

    An Eastwood statement added: "He was only with us a short time but made a big impression."

    It continued: "All at Eastwood Town send their sincere condolences to Dale's family, friends and colleagues."

    Alfreton described his 47-game loan spell from Nottingham Forest in the 2006-07 campaign as "hugely impressive" and the Derbyshire club also passed on its condolences to Dale's family and friends.

    County Durham-born Roberts was a member of the Sunderland and Middlesbrough academies before signing professional terms with Forest.

    He played 12 times for Eastwood following a loan move in March 2006, and helped the club win the Notts Senior Cup that year.

    The whole of the next campaign was spent at Alfreton before two separate loan spells with Rushden led to a permanent switch in January 2009.

    In total he made 91 appearances for Diamonds and was voted the England C player of the season in 2009-10 after becoming an international regular last year.

    England C manager Paul Fairclough said: "On behalf of The Football Association Representative Matches Committee, England C team staff and players, I wish to say how saddened I am at the tragic loss of life of Dale Roberts.

    "Dale, as well as being an outstanding goalkeeper, was an outstanding young man in every sense of the word.

    "These sentiments serve little to describe the magnitude of this shocking bereavement. My thoughts are with his family and all those who have been touched by this true gentleman."

    The FA's general secretary Alex Horne added: "On behalf of everyone at The FA, I'd like to extend my deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Dale Roberts.

    "England C Team manager Paul Fairclough and everyone connected with the squad have had nothing but good things to say about Dale.

    "It's a tragic loss of life and will be felt throughout the football family."

    Nene Park will be open on Wednesday for fans to pay their respects and the FA Youth Cup tie at Hull on the same night has been postponed.

    It is highly commendable of the Sun to manage to turn a tragedy into a soap fucking opera with villains and scandals

    Poor bloke - 24 - dead - end of -
