Agreed. He retired in March 2011.
Young footballer Miki Roque, who spent five years in Liverpool's academy between 2005 and 2009, has died of pelvic cancer. The youngster even made a Champions League appearance for the Reds against Galatasaray back in 2006 and played on loan at Oldham Athletic. The defender had been at Spanish side Real Betis and was diagnosed with cancer in March 2011 before announcing his retirement from football to battle the illness. RIP.
On a separate note: Luis Suarez bags hat-trick in Miami
Luis Suarez took part in a charity game in America over the weekend, which finished with an unlikely 7-7 scoreline. The Uruguayan was one of the stars of the show, bagging a hat-trick, matched by none other than fellow South American Lionel Messi. The game also starred former Liverpool midfielder Javier Mascherano, and the now former Premier League striker Didier Drogba. Argentine star of the past Ariel Ortega also scored in the match. Luis Suarez has been enjoying his Miami holiday, last week he was snapped at the American Airlines Arena watching Liverpool shareholder LeBron James lead Miami Heat to the NBA Championship.
