RIP Janu; prayers for William Yau
--------
He once donned Sabah's jersey.
He played alongside countrymen Jaruslav Netolicka and Michael Vana for the Borneo side.
He drew his final breath yesterday.
He is Czechoslovakian footballer-turned-coach Miroslav Janu (pic).
Harimau Muda A coach Ong Kim Swee had quickly messaged me right after landing in Brisbane asking if I had any updates on Janu's condition after the latter suffered a heart attack earlier in the day.
Sadly, I had no good news to offer Kim Swee who also played for Sabah in the 90s.
Janu, the coach of Surabaya-based football club Persebaya, died at the age of 53 at Jemursari Islamic Hospital in Surabaya, East Java, at around 12 pm on Thursday, due to a heart attack, reported The Jakarta Post.
Some will remember Janu as Sabah's all time best 11.
A sad day for football.
HD says: Also sad that a body, of a fair skinned believed to be a seven-year-old boy, was fished out of a river in Klang as the parents of missing six-year-old William Yau Zhen Zhong were called to identify the body at the Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital. Even if the body is not William, it is still sad that a young lad has died. RIP.
