Tributes have been paid to former Newcastle United goalkeeper Pavel Srnicek who died today after suffering a heart attack.
Srnicek made 150 appearances for the Magpies between 1991 and 1998.
The Czech Republic international also had stints with Sheffield Wednesday, Portsmouth and West Ham before making a brief return to Newcastle in 2006.
Journalists, footballers and clubs alike have all taken to Twitter to pay their respects to the 47-year-old.
