CERCLING THE DRAIN
Belgian footballer Miguel Van Damme has died aged 28 after a half-decade battle with leukaemia. He played as a goalkeeper for Cercle Brugge, a club that frequently yo-yos between the Belgian First and Second Divisions. Van Damme’s cancer struggle somewhat paralleled this, with a constant alternation between remission and recurrence that left deadpoolers on their toes and eventually just looking for other picks. Those who kept the faith include 2023? – no thank you! I’ll leave before and DDP Tofoa, who jet up the scoreboard as potential dark horses.
