There’s a service at St David’s Cathedral in his memory tomorrow according to WalesOnline. Doesn’t say what time.
It was on the Tuesday morning virtually at the same time that I type this that I first heard news that a plane flying from Nantes to Cardiff had gone missing overnight on BBC Wales. I had a fleeting thought that Emiliano Sala had been over in Nantes yesterday, but no more than that. However, it didn't take long at all for the realisation to dawn that our new player could have been on the plane and that "could" had quickly developed into a "was" hours before it was officially confirmed.
Everyone offered their RIPs and condolences a year ago, but with no "closure" for his family and friends as the whole things drags on with no end in sight, they feel just as appropriate a year later - especially when you consider the death of Emiliano's father a few months later.
RIP.

RIP
Such a sad period in CCFCs long history.
I can't even face clicking on any links :-(
It was a Monday last year Paul, I woke up in my Newcastle hotel room to the speculation, I’d had it confirmed at the game at St James Park two days earlier that he was definitely signing. Sala will always come to my mind on the anniversary of the plane disappearance as it’s my birthday. Newcastle this day last year, Tenerife today, very different places but Sala came to mind first thing this morning. No matter that he never played for us it’s still a seismic date in Cardiff City’s history.Quote:

Uncle Bob's message must have been posted either late on the Monday or early on the Tuesday.
Well remembered Paul you’re spot on, my memory has deteriorated significantly between my 64th & 65th birthdays :facepalm:Quote:
