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.

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.
