tynietot Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I met him at a party in 1999. We were both chatting up the hostess when he mentioned he was a professional footballer and blew me out the water. Later on a guy turned up mentioning he’d just won one and a half million on the lottery, blowing junior out of the water. We consoled ourselves sitting on the stairs with a couple of beers. Lovely lad. Rest in peace Junior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had the misfortune to have had 2 strokes, one 3 years ago and a few weeks ago had a TIA, I had speech issues the first time but got over them, after the TIA I am having some speech issues and I know where Junior Agogo was coming from feeling frustrated about his language, RIP Junior, far to young at 40 to have passed away.

First time I have seen this. 40 is way too young, it certainly puts things into perspective when I'm posting at the youthful age of 47.
