    Blimey, I saw a tweet before bed last night about his passing but wasnt sure it was real.  What a shock.

    Neil Warnock (not everyones cup of tea I know!) will be heartbroken.  He described Sol as one of his best and most important signings when he was on Talksport recently.

    Absolutely no age to go especially with young kids too. So bloody sad.

    Oh poor bloke, especially after going through Cancer and defeating that in 2021.

    RIP

    RIP. Sadly but predictably, the anti-vax mob are all over it - without doing the slightest fact-checking first, of course

    Bamba's wife Chloe made an emotional statement on social media.

    "For the last few years I have watched Sol fight his cancer head on with an astounding mental and physical strength and stoicism," she wrote.

    "Unfortunately, it was never a fair fight and just when things were looking up he took a downturn and finally succumbed on 31 August.

    "These years have been indescribably difficult but we still managed to find joy and laughter in it. I've experienced my worst days but also some of my best.

    "Sol accepted his fate as God's will and left this earth knowing, without a shadow of a doubt, that he was loved wholeheartedly. I made sure of that.

    "It was an honour to have loved and been loved by Sol. I learnt so much from him. He is my hero. My heart is breaking. What a gift, what a gift, what a gift to have been loved by him."

    RIP Sol Bamba

    Yes he beat Cancer after four months, saying he was cancer free in 2021, but sounds like it returned like it so often does.
