Wow, that sucks. Only know him through Football Manager unfortunately, but that's another young footballer taken far too soon. Wasn't there another young player at QPR that died or was killed recently? Footballer or not though, 18 years old is no age for someone to die. My sincere sympathies to his family and friends - RIP Ray Jones.

He was a very talented player, one for the future without a doubt and this is absolutly tragic. Taken far too early although I do wonder what the ins and outs of what happened are. RIP Ray
