Cameroon star Foe dies
Cameroon midfielder Marc-Vivien Foe has died after collapsing during an international match in France, world football´s governing body Fifa has confirmed.
The 28-year-old fell to the ground unchallenged in the 72nd minute of a Confederations Cup semi-final against Colombia in Lyon.
He was treated on the pitch before being stretchered off and receiving further treatment, including mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and extra oxygen.
Foe spent last season on loan at English club Manchester City from French club Olympique Lyon and also played for RC Lens.
Medical staff are believed to have tried to restart his heart for 45 minutes but without success.
An autopsy will be carried out to determine the cause of his death.
Manchester City chairman John Wardle expressed the club´s distress at the sad news.
"Foe was wonderful to have around the club," Wardle told BBC Five Live.
"He always had a smile on his face and was humble as well.
"He also scored the last-ever goal at Maine Road and he will go down in history for that."
Foe also played under manager Harry Redknapp while at West Ham.
And Redknapp said: "You couldn´t meet a nicer, more fantastic person than Marc Foe.
"He was a special boy - I just can´t believe it."
France and Turkey were contesting the other semi-final, which took place after Cameroon´s win and the match was preceded by the image of Foe on the stadium´s big screen and a minute´s silence.
But Fifa president Sepp Blatter has said that the Confederations Cup final will go ahead.
