neilnunb Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 I think I'm not taking it in until it's reported in the British press. Just seems surreal, especially with the game going on. Quote

neilnunb Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 https://mobile.twitter.com/jamiekborthwick 😭 Thank you for everything Zal. Quote
SectionFJambo Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Truly hope it's a hoax, Distraught if true. Big Zal was a colossus of that difficult era for the club, forget the big money signings, big names. Zal gave everything for the club and truly was a hero for the club, maybe not here long enough to be classed as a legend but he was approaching that. Quote
