My Take
Sarkic's story stays with me. Born in Grimsby to a British mother and Montenegrin father, he chose to guard the goal for Montenegro, carrying that heritage with real pride. Forged in the Anderlecht and Aston Villa academies, he was a towering 195cm keeper just entering his prime when he died in 2024 at only 27. I keep thinking about the saves we'll never see, the career that was still unfolding. Some players are remembered for trophies; Sarkic deserves to be remembered for the promise and dignity he carried. I quietly wish him peace.
