Hi Marlon
You do have a sick sense of humour.
Eustaquio - still alive and kicking

I am saddened to hear of Eustaquio's untimely death. I had the pleasure of meeting him at a Goanetter's meeting in Goa in the late 90s. When I met him, he seemed very normal, and it did not strike me that within his modest figure lay a great footballing giant.
In retrospect however, it should have been obvious that Eustaquio was a great sportsman and a great lover of sporting events. We on goanet have been flooded with his often depressing sports updates of the continuing defeats of India's football team (eg. India's recent loss to Japan 7-0) or of India's tennis stars. Perhaps it is this recent string of defeats that finally did it for him. Alternatively it could be the impending agony and shame of the nearing summer Olympics that finally convinced him that life on an Indian passport was not worth living for.
May his soul rest in peace.
