Flipping Nora…… I was doing the best I could until I saw this photo of Brody and read those words - floods of tears now….
Life can be so cruel sometimes……..

Statement from his family. Terrible that he was due to fly home today.

Glad they are seeing the positive responses and memories about him though

I'm still absolutely numb from this I can't believe he's gone. I feel for his parents , partner & child.. Star man

Something doesn’t add up to me though. A man as physically fit as George Baldock doesn’t just drown when doing some lengths in a private swimming pool. Even if he had severe heatstroke or something it seems odd. Maybe it doesn’t matter but i wonder about his mental health particularly with all his family seemingly in the UK at the time.

Did ITV do a tribute? Only just managed to turn on England v Greece

Yes Ian Wright knew him from MK Dons and spoke about him

Nearly 24hrs on and still struggling to process it....I'm just hoping Leeds don't let themselves down when you play them.

Seeing Deano on his own on the sideline broke me

Why don't you fuck off.

Wembley tonight

Henderson stood on his own during the minute’s silence - wow

Did someone record the tribute? Be lovely to see what was done for Starman

 

[DronnieBlade]

Its going to take some time for me and I dare say others to get that picture of George with his young son with Dadda on the back of his shirt on the pitch at BDTBL saying his goodbyes just 5 short months ago out my head.

God bless you George.

Why was he stood on his own?

Look ghoul, sudden cramping can happen to anyone whilst swimming fit athlete or not, it’s why trained life guards recommended you don’t do it alone

Tommy Doyle tribute

That's great from Doyle, well done to him for writing that. He describes him there exactly as I judged him to be. An intelligent and passionate leader in the dressing room and perfect mentor for any young players. The 'knowing when to be serious' bit seems spot on to me. Having Baldock and the other long serving senior pros around was a massive reason we were able to get back up

 

[wavy-blade]

Why was he stood on his own?

To show his respects , to some people its a personal thing especially when he knew him and was friends with him , i would have thought this was obvious though ?

Tearful moment at Wembley

I actually want Greece to win tonight just for George

What the actual fuck- I’d delete this if I were you, people such as you and the Sun’s gutter journalism really need to have a long hard look in the mirror. Speculating on what happened without any evidence just adds to the grief of an already suffering family. Stick to talking shit about football, something you also know nothing about.

Indeed - that is far worse than the Ramble stuff IMO.

 

[WhiteHawk]

Still can't get my head round this, it doesn't seem real. One of my favourite players to ever pull on the red & white. RIP Starman

I saw Billy's post when I was between sets at the gym and I was thinking about this. To people outside of this club\fanbase this will be just another tragic case of a young life lost too soon but to we of course know him deeper. When you think about it he had an amazing career with Sheffield United. Experienced heights of playing in the premier league amongst the best in the world, experienced the lows of relegation, travelled to some amazing stadiums alot of players won't get the chance to play in. Witnessed some of the best years in this clubs history and because of his dedication and obvious influence earned adoration from us all.

When all said and done his family can be bloody proud of him.

He was one of us. He just got the club and the city and genuinely seemed to love being a Blade. That’s without even mentioning the great times he gave us. What a man.

There's a time for speculation and it's not now..people are grieving and emotions are raw..out of respect for the family and friends I'm sure it would be appreciated by everyone if this kind of insensitive talk wasn't discussed right now.

 

[Sithblade]

I hope I’m not imagining this but I recall watching a video with Sander which talked about his time being stranded in Sheffield during Covid and George and his family basically got him through it..

Some of the pictures Sander shared earlier.
