    Got an Ipswich and a Wimbledon fan at work. Both in shock after this news, as am I. What on earth was he doing that prompted him being tasered? RIP

    Blimey, he was proper quick and built like a tank. Proper old school centre-forward in the modern era in the early PL days. Used to terrorise Mabbutt, Ruddock and co in the Tottenham back four on a regular basis, Villa were truly our bogey side back then.

    RIP Dalian, gone far too young.

    Purely speculation but I'd hazard a guess that he was either extremely drunk or had been suffering from some form of mental illness that had led him in to an 'episode' whereby he was a danger to himself or those around him.

    RIP. One of my favourite players from back then.

    But why "speculate" or "guess" in the first place?

    Sad news.

    Sad news.
    Maybe because someone had posed a question that would lead to "speculation" and "guesses" surrounding the tragic event? Also because there's always someone ready to jump on the morally high plinth.

    Well why stop there. Maybe he was waving a gun about? Or maybe he was doing nothing wrong at all?

    If you don't know anything then stfu.
