World football has been shocked and devastated by the apparent suicide of German goalkeeper Robert Enke, who died after being hit by a train at a level crossing in Hanover yesterday.
Enke who played for Hanover 96 in the Bundesliga, where he was awarded goalkeeper of the season 2008/9, had played at some of the top clubs in Europe through his career, including Benfica, Barcelona and Brussia Monchengladbach.
The 32 year old had recently become the first choice goalkeeper for his country and was expected to feature for Germany in the World Cup 2010 in South Africa.
In 2006 Enke had to deal with the loss of his two year old daughter Lara, who died from a rare heart condition. He and his wife had recently adopted another child.
