What an awful shock. Poor Sam and family.

I watched George play for Sheff Utd, but also remember him at MK, as the game had a Baldock on each side.

Nikos Papanikolaou, BBC News

The Greek football community is in shock. The news of Baldock's sudden death plunged the country into mourning. The members of the Greek national team - who are currently in London as they're facing England on Thursday night - are struggling to believe the tragic news. Baldock played 12 games for Greece - his last appearance was in March 2023 against Georgia.

The Greek team has asked Uefa to be able to wear black armbands against England, and also to hold a moment of silence before the game.
