Arsenal legend Ray Parlour has paid tribute to former team-mate Jose Antonio Reyes after his death, aged 35, last weekend.
The Spanish forward was killed in a car accident close to Seville on Saturday.
LaLiga club Sevilla, where Reyes began his career and enjoyed two spells, tweeted the news on Saturday afternoon.
“We couldn’t be confirming worse news,” they wrote. “Beloved Sevilla star Jose Antonio Reyes has died in a traffic collision. Rest in peace.”
Tributes were paid to the forward all weekend, including at the Champions League final where they observed a minute’s applause before kick-off, while Liverpool defender Alberto Moreno wore a special T-shirt to honour his former team-mate.
The player’s funeral was held on Monday in his hometown of Utrera, after fans lined the streets as his coffin was driven from Sevilla’s stadium on Sunday.
And Arsenal hero Parlour added his own tribute to his fellow Invincible on talkSPORT on Monday morning.
“It was awful news, I was shocked,” the former Gunners midfielder said on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast. “I played with him for three or four months – he signed in the January window of the unbeaten season, but he was some talent.
“He didn’t really settle in England, I think he played about 70 games for Arsenal, but you could see the talent he had.
“What a shame.
“He was a really good lad. Some of the players who played with him for a longer period, Thierry Henry and Cesc Fabregas, they all said what a great guy he was.
“So it was really sad news over the weekend.”
