Junior Agogo: Former Ghana, Nottingham Forest and Bristol Rovers Forward Passes Away Aged 40

Ex-Nottingham Forest and Ghana striker Junior Agogo has died at the age of 40.

The target man struggled to break into the first-team setup at Hillsborough after graduating from the Sheffield Wednesday academy, with various loan spells at lower league clubs preceding a permanent move MLS outfit Chicago Fire. He made his way back to England with a transfer to Queens Park Rangers in 2002, before stints at Forest and Bristol Rovers.

A stroke in 2015 saw a significant dip in his speaking abilities, with Agogo discussing the adversity he faced as a result in a BBC Four documentary two years later.
