The death of the English footballer with a Greek passport George Baldock has shocked the global football community. The footballer Panathinaikos, where he shared a locker room with Andraž Šporar, Adam Gnezdo Čerin, and Benjamin Verbič, died at his home in Athens. He was found in the pool, where he had been lying motionless for several hours. The background of the entire story is truly heartbreaking. His wife, who lives with the family in England, wanted to call him on the phone since their son was celebrating his birthday.
When George Baldock did not answer the calls, she contacted the owner of the house where he lived. When the owner entered the footballer’s home, he encountered a shocking scene. The unfortunate footballer was beyond help; the reason for his actual death will only be revealed by a police investigation.
The footballer’s death has shocked everyone, including Aleksander Čeferin. “George Baldock, the young player of the Greek national team and Panathinaikos, died last night. When a young person dies, it is a sad day. We must remember what is important in life. One day you are here, the next day you are not. I express my deep and sincere condolences to the player’s family, Greek football, and the entire football community,” said the president of the European Football Association (UEFA).
The Greek association also responded, having already requested UEFA’s permission for its players to wear black armbands during today’s match against England, the country where George Baldock was born, grew up, and spent most of his life.
