Sheffield boss on Baldock: ‘A huge personality, players have lost their brother’

Greek football is still mourning the loss of George Baldock, with the 31-year-old footballer suddenly passing away.

She is also in mourning England as he spent almost his entire career there and was particularly loved by the ranks of the fans and especially by her fans Sheffield United.



THE Chris Wilder was his coach Baldock for a number of years and spoke in the best words about the deceased athlete of Panathinaikos.

What Chris Wilder said in detail:

“I’m really surprised. Really, I think we’re getting to that age where we’re going to more and more funerals. Obviously in your life you lose people you love and respect but this is completely different for everyone Everyone is absolutely stunned and it’s really tragic. He wasn’t one of those players who grabbed the headlines but George was a huge personality, a huge leader, a huge carrier of culture. He was the epitome of everything, on and off the field.

He was a humble man, We had our fights, our outbursts but we put them aside as we both aimed for the same result. Now that I think about it, families lost a son and players lost a brother. These boys went to war with George who rose to every challenge. He was a player you enjoyed coaching. He gave his maximum in every match and that’s what every Sheffield fan wanted.”
