Crikey, gutted for Enock. His career was only just getting under way.
I hope a combination of the club and insurance sees him set fair financially.
Wishing the bloke a long and healthy life.

I just shed a few tears.
If it is any consolation (and I think it is), he now has the luxury of life, enjoying his family, and new adventures, and not the sudden cardiac death that would likely have occurred had this not been picked up.

Such a shame, a hugely talented player who comes across as a genuinely lovely guy.

A dream ended, just so sad. Feel for him, wish him all the best.
That’s terrible news but hopefully it means a long happy life for him and his family. Scary stuff.
One positive amongst the very many negatives is his last performance for us was such a positive one for him, driving forward for a lovely assist. He certainly leaves us on a high.

Devastating news for Enock, the club and the fans.
But it has to be the right decision. Here's hoping he can go on to lead a full life.

Unbelievable news, feel sad for him. Was thinking on Saturday about I wonder when he is back?

Very sad for Enock.
Thanks for the memories, Computer; very sorry your career has ended this way. Good luck in your future endeavours.

Awful news. Best wishes to the lad for whatever comes next for him.
It's been a bad couple of months for Brighton - first we lost Cucu (and most of us didn't seen that coming, not when it did anyway), then Potter (ditto) and the whole coaching team. Now we've lost Enock too - and he was looking like a really good addition to the squad. After being right on the crest of the wave after that Leicester game we've taken some real body blows.
I know we've got succession planning in place (but probably not for Enock) - maybe I'll cheer up after a few good results and if some the Albion players have a brilliant world cup, but right now, this morning, my Albion mojo is far, far lower than it should be, bearing in mind where we are in the league.

This is very sad.
As someone else has said, hopefully we can support him to make the transition to his next career path, be it coaching or whatever
Maybe they could organise a testimonial during the World Cup break. Current Albion v Albion All Stars

damn. that's absolutely awful. not least because you could see he was a very talented player. I hope if he does want to remain involved in football in some way then the club can make it happen
EDIT: just read his statement and he does so I hope that's here with us. but as others have said, main outcome is positive as this has probably helped avoid the unthinkable

Utterly dreadful news. But, as many others have rightly said, they found it now so he can go and have a long and, hopefully, happy life. I suspect that the club will look after him in some capacity - that seems to be the supportive and caring culture that TB and co have engendered (and always makes me feel even more love for BHAFC).

Dreadful news for the lad. From a practical standpoint, I wonder what happens now with his contract? Obviously, our club doesn't cheat anyone so there's no concern he won't be properly looked after, but I wonder what the practicalities are now. It's a nightmare for Enock, and for us as a club to lose such a good young player who was going to get better and better and play a key role for us - as secondary as all that side of it is.
