Former Sharks Defender Inebia Dies

Former Sharks defender Monday Inebia Kalio slumped and died at the age of 34 of a suspected heart attack    in Port Harcourt at the weekend .

Inebia, more widely known as Junior, collapsed 10 minutes into a local kick about with his Liverpool All Stars team and was quickly taken to a nearby hospital, the Seaside Medical Centre before being moved to the government-owned Braithewaite Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

The day before, Inebia had also taken part in another local kick about at the popular No 6 field where Port Harcourt-based footballers usually play.

In 2009, Inebia was diagnosed with a heart problem during a routine medical check at Sharks.

He was subsequently dropped and advised to quit football.
