Random Bite

I never thought I would have had to do one of these so soon. After Sir Bobby Charlton's death about a couple of months ago I thought the game had loss one of its true gentlemen and my tributes to decease players were coming to a welcoming end. Then unfortunately the Grim Reaper struck and Espanyol's hard nose captain Jarque dies. Now today I regret to inform anyone who has not heard the footballing world has loss another of its mythic stars to the Angel of Death.

Robert Enke the passionate German goalkeeper was passed away at the age of 32 on the 10th of November 2009. It is ironic that the East Germany native passed away on the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Enke's fall was caused by his own devices. Enke orchestrated his won suicide in Neustadt am Rubenberge a sleepy German town. According to German authorities Enke drove his car onto a train track and waited for an arriving train.

The Former Barcelona, Borussia Monchengaldbach, Benfica and Hannover 96 man leaves behind his wife Teresa and two year old adopted daughter Leila. Enke's personal problems may had led to his death, the death of his own biological daughter Lara in 2007 due to a heart defect probably the main contributor of his motives. His wife Teresa revealed to German media that her husband was seeing a psychiatrist for six years due to a serious bout of depression. Enke's current club Hannover 96 president Martin Kind stated that Enke was an unstable person.

Enke played for Zeiss Jena, Borussia Monchengaldbach, Barcelona, Tenerife, Fenerbache and Hannover 96 and was capped by his nation 8 times. In a tribute to his life his current club Hannover 96 has frozen the #1 jersey in his honor while fans of the club have flooded the ADW-Arena to lay flowers in memory of the German pit

bull.

I am really upset about this personally because as I like to say there is more to life than football but how Robert died really broke my heart. Enke was so agile in goal and vocal individual. I really wished he would not have given up on us not for the sake of football but for the sake of your love ones fans and family alike.
