Just read that, shocking news.

[JoeT]

Sad news

[hfc rd]

Such a shame 😢

R.I.P.

[Pretty Boy]

I opened this expecting it to be another joke about us trying to sign him on loan.

I wish it had been. The reality is a bit of a shocker.

[MWHIBBIES]

Horrible news. Was a very good player at many big clubs. RIP

[hibs#1]

Just saw this on twitter. Terrible news.

RIP and thanks for the memories. Too young.

From a hibee gooner.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Very sad news; only 35. I remember his spell at Arsenal and he was excellent for Sevilla.

[007]

Very sad news.

Rest in peace.

Me too, such a shock RIP

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Just seen that on the SKY SPORTS banner. Thought it was going to say...signs for. RIP.

[Renfrew_Hibby]

Sad news. Had some record in the Europa League, 5 times winner with Sevilla and Atletico Madrid I think and a league champion with both Arsenal and Real Madrid.

Going at 35 is an absolute tragedy

[Iggy Pope]

I was working in Paris the morning he signed for Arsenal from Seville and it looked a stunning signing even if I couldn’t understand a word of the report.
Always played with a smile and was some player.I remember Zidane being very complimentary about him. He’ll be well remembered down the Avenell Road. R.I.P.

[HibbyAndy]

What a tragedy :no way:

I remember his 2 screamers against Chelsea in the FA cup on his debut i think it was

Possibly the first player to be sent off in an Fa cup final ?:confused:

RIP Jose

He was the second player to be sent off in an FA Cup final.

Very sad news. I remember watching Reyes for Sevilla and thinking he was amongst the best players I had ever seen, completely controlling a game against Real Madrid. When he signed for Arsenal I was expecting great things from him, he didn't quite reach the same heights IMO as he did at Sevilla, but he was still part of a brilliant Arsenal team. Very sad news for one still so young.

[southsider]

Mind all the mental rumours that he was spotted at East Mains. So sad, his family and friends must be heartbroken. RIP Jose

[NAE NOOKIE]

RIP to a super player … so young, so sad.

[Iggy Pope]

His friend Moreno looked in distress at the tribute today and had a t shirt on in his memory which was a nice touch.

[IberianHibernian]

Very sad . One of his cousins died and another is seriously injured in hospital . Was a great player . I remember watching him with Sevilla in his teens ( debut at 16 ) and again in his 30s and for Arsenal and others in between . I remember watching a report about his life in London about a year after he joined Arsenal - he`d moved his family over to London and hardly spoke any English . Although he left Arsenal quite soon after , he moved around quite a bit in Spain and abroad to China . Accident happened near to town where he was born , Utrera . RIP .

He was going at 135mph and there were other victims. Crazy.

[Sir David Gray]

He was going at 135mph and there were other victims. Crazy.

At least 135mph was what I read in the police report.

It's sad that he's paid the ultimate price for his actions but that is a ridiculous speed to be driving at on a normal road.

It should hopefully act as a lesson for anyone else who might consider driving at such reckless speeds.

What’s the national speed limit in spain? It seems the norm when I’m there with buses easily doing 90mph.

Rest José. Fantastic footballer far far too young.

120 km/h on Autopista (motorways). 100 km/h on Autovia (dual carriageways). 90 km/h on single carriageway roads.

[Scouse Hibee]

Speculation that a tyre blew out causing him to lose control, also the car had lain unused for a while and tyre pressures might have been a contributory factor.

[Fuzzywuzzy]

He was doing 200kph, which is nearly 140mph in the report I read. My car starts feeling sorry for itself at 60mph!!

Just realised the post I read earlier said 135mph not kph so my maths was out.

I’d say driving the car at 140mph without checking it first sounds like the contributing factor.

Thanks. 👍 spending or not such a shame. The speed limits hopefully make it less judgemental.

[Here’s Lucy!]

Selfish but sad.

[DetroitHibs]

Don’t feel any more sorrow for him than I would some random totaling his car doing 100+ MPH.

[Eyrie]

Agreed.

The news about how fast he was going has turned this story from a tragic accident to simple stupidity.

[hfc rd]

Was gutted when I heard about this on Saturday but after that police report, it is just plain stupidity from Reyes to drive that fast. Why? Especially now that it has resulted in both his and his cousin losing their lives plus another in hospital with severe injuries.

[DetroitHibs]

Probably been driving at those speeds for years. Bound to catch up eventually.

Pure speculation.

Pure speculation.

Yep it’s a forum, it’s what we do :wink:

[Hibee Mac]

I find it odd that when a known name does something like this it's a tragedy and when an unknown stranger crashes at 140mph injuring and killing others then it's a different story.

What a ridiculously selfish and moronic thing to do, you can only be glad that other innocent people weren't injured.
