Antonio Puerta, the tall, elegant left-sided midfielder for Sevilla and Spain passed away today. He had been in hospital in critical condition for the past 3 days after collapsing during Sevilla's game over the weekend against Getafe. He had had multiple cardiac arrests, and there was brain damage that had arisen from those that made the situation very, very complicated. He was just 22 years old, and had a baby on the way as well. Clubs like Arsenal, Manchester United and Real Madrid had been watching him for a while now, and he was one that was surely destined for the top.
It's a sad day when such a promising, young footballer passes on, and we would like to wish his family all the best.

Two OleOle Bloggers have been offered the chance to attend the preview screening in London of a new football film called "IN THE HANDS OF THE GODS". It looks like an excellent film, and is based around dreams and passion in football, and 5 street footballers using their skills to raise
enough money to go and see their idol Diego Maradona.
It's going to be on Tuesday, August 21st in London, so if you're interested, then get in touch now!

Well, why not? This might be a fun weekly thing to do. So... welcome to the inaugural Footbollocks Quiz.
This week's (slightly England-centric) questions:
1. Which Norwegian has played more Premiership games than any of his countrymen?
2. Which South American footballer has won the most Premiership titles?
3. Which former French international has won more top-level silverware than any of his compatriots?
4. In the last decade, at least 3 pairs of brothers have plied their trade in the German Bundesliga, at the same clubs. Name them.
Enjoy!
And if you'd like to contribute any questions, just send me a message via OleOle with your bit of trivia. It's going to be hard work coming up with questions every week!
