On the school run?! Were his kids okay?

I think it was after he dropped the kids at school. Terrible all the same, but at least they were spared.

 

 

 

From BBC:

Former Aston Villa and Bolton defender Jlloyd Samuel has died in a car crash.

The 37-year-old, most recently player-manager of non-league side Egerton, died on Tuesday morning.

Samuel made 199 appearances for Villa after signing with the club in 1998, and played 83 times for Bolton between 2007 and 2011.

The Trinidad and Tobago Football Association said he had "collided with an oncoming vehicle".

"We've received some terrible news that former national defender and ex-Aston Villa and Bolton Wanderers player Jlloyd Samuel died in a car crash this morning in England," they continued in a statement on Facebook.

"According to reports, Jlloyd was returning home after dropping his kids off to school and collided with an oncoming vehicle.

"The Trinidad and Tobago Football Association and his former national teammates at this time extends deepest condolences to his family members both in the UK and here in Trinidad and Tobago."

Samuel's former team-mate and Liverpool Academy coach Michael Beale said: "Absolutely heartbroken to hear of the passing of my childhood friend and team-mate. A beautiful person."

That's terrible, always thought he was pretty decent defender in his Villa days.

Awful really. Am I making this up, or was he once touted as being an England regular when he was a youngster?

Yes I think he was. He played for the England U18 and U21 before being capped by Trinidad and Tobago

He got called up by Sven but never made it on to the pitch.
