Tributes have poured in following the death of Nigerian non-league footballer Saburi Olayinka Adeniji, who passed away from a severe brain injury just one day before his wife and four-year-old daughter arrived to see him.
Adeniji, a winger for Kings Park Rangers in Halstead, Essex, died in hospital on Friday after being admitted to intensive care on January 25 with a serious brain stem injury. His family had travelled from Nigeria to be by his side but arrived after his passing.
The club confirmed the tragic news in a statement, saying, āIt is with great sadness that we must announce our number 17 Saburi Adeniji āOlaā passed away yesterday morning. He fought so hard to still be here for when his family arrived. His wife and daughter unfortunately arrived this morning, a day late. He will always be a King. He will always be loved.ā
