Went to see Sparta Prague in May and he was working there as goalkeeping coach. We were delighted when we recognised him about 6 feet away from us. Really sad news.
So sad - just published "Pavel is a Geordie" telling his story. The Toon Army sang Pavel is a Geordie on Saturday in the hope a recording might wake him from his coma. RIP Pav.

RIP!!
Pav and his Newcastle days (1996?) is when I really got into football and was hooked on MOTD every Saturday.
Then, just before we went out onto the pitch, Keegan turned to me and said ‘Pav, why can’t you be more like Schmeichel, and win a game for us?’
