No, not a new signing rumour.
Choirul Huda was the goalie for Persela Lamongan against Semen Pedang in the Indonesian Liga 1. He died today after coming out to clear the ball and colliding with his own defender and an onrushing forward, in the 2nd minute of stoppage time at the end of the first half. He was 38 years old.
He was taken to hospital but he could not be saved. The game was completed, with Persela winning 2-0. They then went to the hospital and found he was dead.
Lamongan-born Huda played for his hometown club his entire career, making his senior debut in 1999 and playing more than 500 times in the league.
I doubt any of us had ever heard of him but he gave his life playing the game we love.
