Marc-Vivien Foe

The Clio story was wonderful, as was the statement that God had acquired himself an angel in Marco....beautiful :)

I am still deeply touched by Marcos death and I shed tears, both yesterday and today whilst reading all the tributes etc. :( A great man, a great footballer, a great loss to the world :(

Cameroon winning the Confederations cup whilst wearing Foé's shirt will be a fitting rememberance of Marco, as will the name "Foé-Cup".

I would also like to show my disgust at the Sun and the Daily Mail and other tabloids, showing pictures that should not be shown:mad:
 
:(
Apparently, he had malaria some years back and it can leave some inherant weaknesses in the body. If this is the case, it could have been the cause of it all.

I was also a bit shocked to say the least with the tabloid front pages, there will be a lot of upset people around. They need to have some respect.
 
Aye i read the mirror and me and the missus were disgusted with the photo's they showed of him. Why not show some photo's of him in his prime and how he would want to be remembered.
 
Dont know if this true or not but it seems he had felt ill going into the match. I usually dont believe what i read in the sun, but surely they wouldnt make this up so ill post it here

THE THE wife of tragic Manchester City star Marc-Vivien Foe last night revealed he felt too ill to play in the match that killed him.


Distraught Marie-Louise insisted her husband, 28, was suffering from dysentery in the build-up to his death on Thursday.

She said: "He should not have been playing at

all. He had dysentery for two or three days. He also had gastric problems and he knew he probably wasn't well enough to play.

"When he collapsed, I never thought he would die. I assumed he'd get up or recover on the sidelines. The family is in utter shock."

Cameroon ace Foe slumped to the ground during his country's Confederations Cup match against Colombia in Lyon.

Marie-Louise, 26, was in the stadium and saw the midfielder carried off on a stretcher after his eyes had turned up in his head.

The father of three died 45 minutes later without regaining consciousness. His wife added: "He desperately wanted to play for his country in his adopted home-town of Lyon. But doctors should have stopped him."

Foe, who spent last season on loan at City, had been treated in hospital for dysentery and saw a doctor on the day of the match.

He also cancelled a TV interview because he was feeling faint. Family friend Andre Matip said: "I was in the stadium and saw Marc was asking to be substituted a little before he collapsed. This is both terrible and unbelievable."

An autopsy takes place today, although an early report found no evidence of a stroke. It was initially thought he suffered a heart attack.

THE Sun's GP, Dr Carol Cooper, insists that the dysentery which struck Marc-Vivien Foe may have caused fluid loss which, coupled with dehydration from the hot weather in France, could have triggered the death if he had underlying heart disease.

Dr Cooper, who is trained in sports medicine, said: "If he had lost a lot of fluid from dysentery it could have unmasked previous heart trouble and triggered a fatal event.

"It could have been a fatal combination."

If this is true the doctors really should have known better than to allow him to play is such heat.

Also samuel Eto'o has said he will play 2 cup finals in 2 days as a tribute to Foe, just hope he doesnt hurt himself or something coz it might be dangerous playing 2 games so quickly http://www.planetfootball.com/article.asp?id=152473&cpid=219&title=Eto'o+in+Foe+tribute

Even a day later I still cant believe he is gone :(:(:(:(
