Ex-footballer, 37, killed in car accident
FORMER Premier League footballer Jlloyd Samuel has died in a car accident.
The 37-year-old ex-Aston Villa and Bolton Wanderers defender was reportedly involved in a collision with a truck in Cheshire on Tuesday morning.
His death was announced by the Trinidad and Tobago Football Association, who said: “Jlloyd was returning home after dropping his kids off to school and collided with an oncoming vehicle.
“We and his former national team-mates extend deepest condolences to his family members, both in the UK and here in Trinidad and Tobago.”
Samuel was born in Trinidad but moved to England as a boy. He was capped by England from under-18 to under-21 level before switching international allegiance. RONNIE Barker’s handwritten script for one of Britain’s best-loved comedy scenes is set to sell for £40,000. Four Candles, first aired by the BBC in 1976, has been voted the best-ever Two Ronnies sketch. It features Barker trying to buy handles for garden forks from Ronnie Corbett – but the shopworker misunderstands and hands him four candles.
Andrew Stowe, of East Bristol Auctions who will be selling the script on June 1, said: “It’s a ‘holy grail’ for collectors.”
Remarkably, the guide price is less than the £48,500 the current owner paid for it in 2007.
