Just learned from the Guardian that Theyab Awana, the UAE No 10 who caused Aziz Behich and Australia so much trouble during the Olyroos qualifying match, has just died after a car crash while travelling from club training. This is a tragic end, not just for a young and exciting talent, but for a promising young man.
Awana's enduring claim to fame include his back-heel penalty against Lebanon, which became an internet sensation.
Our condolences and sympathies to his family, friends and team mates.
