Horrible news. I remember him being fantastic for us and comfortably our best player when he was here - looked far too good for where we were at the time.

Sunderland have released a statement, paying tribute to former goalkeeper Marton Fulop, who dies today at the age of 32.
Fulop, who had battled cancer in recent years, played for the Black Cats between 2006 and 2010.
The club’s chief executive Margaret Byrne, who organised for Fulop to attend the 2014 Capital One Cup final, in which Sunderland played another of his former clubs, Manchester City, said: “We are devastated to hear of Marton’s passing. He was a genuinely lovely man, liked and respected by everyone at the club during his four years with us.
“It is desperately sad when we lose a member of our Sunderland family but to lose one so young and in such circumstances is simply heart-breaking.
“The thoughts and prayers of everyone at the club are with Marton’s family and friends at this terribly sad time.”

That is very very sad. As Prof said he was excellent for us and should really be entering his prime as a goalkeeper.
Life is far too short.

Sad, sad news. I was only wondering 'whatever happened to him' a few months ago.
In my humble opinion, Fulop was the only top class keeper I've seen represent us since Tim Flowers. I expected his career to go from strength to strength but it never really did. A nice guy by all accounts too.
Cancer is a real bastard.
