๐จ๐ฃ๏ธ Goalkeeper Jesรบs Owono speaks following the incident that resulted in the tragic passing of Jesรบs de Miguel:
"These are being the most difficult days of my life. It's hard for me to find the words and I find it very difficult to assimilate anything that has happened."
"I feel enormous pain for the loss of Jesus. I think of him, his family and all the people who loved him. I know that there will be many issues to address, I will face whatever comes with all due respect."
"But right now, honestly, I can't think of anything other than Jesus and the pain we are experiencing. Rest in peace, Jesus."
One of the most touching moments in youth football: Barcelonaโs U-12 players consoling their opponents after the World Challenge Cup final in Japan, 2016.
We are stunned and heartbroken to announce the sudden and tragic passing of midfielder Ezekiel Williams yesterday afternoon aged 26.
A humble, unassuming and generous individual with a razor-sharp wit, Eze joined the club in September and quickly established himself as a highly popular member of the dressing room and was beginning to carve a place for himself in midfield with a series of hard-working and selfless displays that summed him up as a person. Only 10 days ago, he scored his first goal for the club against Jersey Bulls.
As a sign of respect, and to allow the players and management time to process this profoundly shocking news, tomorrowโs London Senior Cup tie with Woodford Town has been postponed.
There has been a gofundme page set up in Ezekielโs memory for anyone who would like to support and donate.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Ezekielโs family, friends, and everyone who knew him at this devastating time. He will be very sadly missed by all of us at Hendon Football Club.
RIP Eze ๐๐ค
