A sad day, as at 34 and his solid goal scoring record of 1 in 5 in the Slovenian Prvaliga the worlds media felt like he had a lot more still left to give to the game.
I’ll remember him as one of city’s cult heroes. We didn’t see the best of him but he looked truly world class in the development games he played in, at least 3 levels above where he was playing. And, after watching his off the ball movement in the 75 collective minutes he played… well, I truly believed we had a hidden gem on our hands.
Farwell Etien and thanks for everything.
