Former Sheffield Wednesday, Nottingham Forest and Ghana striker Junior Agogo dies at age 40

Former Sheffield Wednesday, Nottingham Forest and Ghana striker Manuel 'Junior' Agogo has passed away in a London hospital at the age of 40, it was announced on Thursday.

The cause of Agogo's death is currently unknown, but he was known to have had a stroke in 2015, just three years after hanging up his boots following a season-long stint with Scottish side Hibernian.

Born in Accra, Ghana, the striker spent most of his youth in the UK before returning to the country of his birth to complete secondary school studies.
