At the Guardian Unlimited Football
website, there's an interesting article about Paul Vaessen
called
The terrible death of a forgotten hero.
A quote from the article:
"Paul Vaessen sealed one of Arsenal's greatest triumphs on their last visit to Juventus, this week's
Champions League opponents. His moment of glory 22 years ago was short-lived. Injury wrecked
his career and led him to the depths of drug addiction and crime. Last year he died, aged 39."
Note: the article was written in March 2002.
