Selon l\u2019agence de presse officielle ANA, Baldock, international grec \u00e0 douze reprises, a \u00e9t\u00e9 retrouv\u00e9 sans vie \u00e0 son domicile. Sa famille a publi\u00e9 un communiqu\u00e9 d\u00e9chirant confirmant sa mort et demandant le respect de leur vie priv\u00e9e en ces temps difficiles. \u00ab\u00a0Nous pouvons confirmer que George est tristement d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9. Notre famille est sous le choc de cette terrible perte\u00a0\u00bb, a-t-elle d\u00e9clar\u00e9.<\/p>\n
Originaire de Buckingham, en Angleterre, Baldock poss\u00e9dait la double nationalit\u00e9 grecque et anglaise gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 ses origines familiales. En mai dernier, il avait sign\u00e9 un contrat de trois ans avec le Panathina\u00efkos apr\u00e8s avoir pass\u00e9 sept saisons \u00e0 Sheffield United, o\u00f9 il avait \u00e9t\u00e9 un pilier de l\u2019\u00e9quipe. Il avait rejoint l\u2019\u00e9quipe nationale grecque en 2022, honorant ses racines en portant le maillot des \u00ab Ellines \u00bb.<\/p>\n
D\u2019apr\u00e8s les rapports, l\u2019\u00e9pouse de Baldock, actuellement \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9tranger, a alert\u00e9 le propri\u00e9taire de la r\u00e9sidence apr\u00e8s avoir tent\u00e9 de le joindre en vain par t\u00e9l\u00e9phone. Des m\u00e9dias grecs, dont la cha\u00eene de t\u00e9l\u00e9vision publique ERT, rapportent que Baldock aurait \u00e9t\u00e9 retrouv\u00e9 \u00ab\u00a0au fond de la piscine\u00a0\u00bb, avec une bouteille de vodka \u00e0 proximit\u00e9. Un premier examen m\u00e9dical n\u2019a r\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e9 aucun signe d\u2019acte criminel, et il semblerait que le joueur soit d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 depuis plusieurs heures avant sa d\u00e9couverte.<\/p>\n
Baldock avait jou\u00e9 ce dimanche lors d\u2019un match nul contre l\u2019Olympiakos, mais n\u2019avait pas \u00e9t\u00e9 s\u00e9lectionn\u00e9 pour le match de Ligue des Nations contre l\u2019Angleterre \u00e0 Wembley en raison d\u2019une blessure. Sa perte a suscit\u00e9 une vague d\u2019\u00e9motions, tant en Gr\u00e8ce qu\u2019au Royaume-Uni. La F\u00e9d\u00e9ration grecque de football a demand\u00e9 que ses joueurs portent un brassard noir en hommage \u00e0 Baldock lors de leur prochain match.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Par D\u00e9restable John Mickenley Le football grec est en deuil apr\u00e8s la tragique annonce du d\u00e9c\u00e8s de George Baldock, l\u2019arri\u00e8re droit de 31 ans du Panathina\u00efkos Ath\u00e8nes.
