Former Nottingham Forest striker Junior Agogo dies

Former Nottingham Forest striker Junior Agogo has passed away, aged 40.

The Ghanaian suffered a stroke back in 2015 which left him debilitated just two years after retiring from playing.

According to a number of reports in Ghana, he passed away in London on Thursday morning.

Agent Saif Rubie tweeted: "Just heard the news that one of my first clients ever Junior Agogo has passed away. Still can't believe it. One of my proudest moments in football is seeing him smash the AFCON in Ghana."

Agogo was a star of the national team and the poster boy of the 2008 African Cup of Nations hosted in Ghana.

He scored 12 goals goals in 27 caps during the height of his career between 2006 and 2009.

Agogo enjoyed the best spell of his club career with Forest between 2006 and 2008, scoring over 20 goals for the club.
