Louis Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Diving has long been the scourge of the world’s game - a festering sore cursed by fans and mocked by all. But now the distrust that its prevalence has ingrained in the game has caused a dying man one final injustice. According to the Croatian Times and Eurosport, a 32-year-old Croatian defender named Goran Tunjic suffered a heart attack in the 35th minute of a county level league match and collapsed on the pitch. Thinking the player was merely taking a dive to draw a foul, the referee showed him a yellow card, before realising that something was seriously wrong and called for medical attention. Tunjic was rushed to a local hospital, but tragically could not be saved. He reportedly had no previous health problems. “Doctors tried to help him but there was nothing they could do. He died on the spot,” a club official said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
