Benfica Striker Miklos Feher dies on football pitch.

Not another one.

He came on as a 60th minute sub for Benfice, and collapsed in the 90th minute, it is believed that it was a heart attack. He was revived by medics at the ground, but later died in hospital.

He was only 24 years old.

I didn't know who he was, but that is both shocking and sad, to be so young too.

I just saw this on the BBC, really sad news

My condolences to his family and friends

It just goes to show that more stringent health checks need to be made in football, because I KNOW that there isn't enough done in relation to checking the heart

Yeah my friend, who's from Portugual and a HUGE Benfica fan, IM'ed me before and told me what happened. He was watching the game on TV too. That must be really tough for the Benfica team to lose a player in that way.

That's something that you never really see or even hear of in football, or any sport all that much.

Horrible to die at such a young age though.

I don't know what to say, so I'll just say RIP Miklos.
