Jonah Lomu dies

I am in total shock to hear this, absolute legend of the game has passed away at just 40 years old.

Absolutely tragic, RIP to one of the greatest and most down-to-earth sportsmen of all time :sadnod:

Sad news considering wasn't too long ago seeing his tweets at the WC last month. Didn't realise his health issues.

But not being a rugby fan at all, even I - and I imagine others in a similiar position - would recognise Lomu if they saw a picture of him. I think I would have done a Gary Linekar and **** my pants if I was faced with Lomu rampaging towards me full throttle but also he seemed a nice bloke off the pitch, not making his on field persona all nasty - did it with a smile.

RIP

He, Brian Lara and Michael Schumacher were the three huge sporting figures of my childhood away from football.

RIP.
