Young Fish Costa Fortune

I was saddened to hear of the premature death of Jorge Costa, one of the best defenders we have ever had, even if for just 20 games.   Young, Fish, Costa, Fortune: what a line up.

'He comes from Portugal and he ****ing hates Millwall..'   Doubtless he had never heard of them, but Charlton fans took him to their hearts.

I remember him squaring up to, and glaring down, some hapless attacker at The Valley.   Costa in tears at his last game at Old Trafford.  And coming back with Porto for the Steve Brown testimonial.

It's understood Costa, who was Porto's director of football, suffered a cardiac arrest at the club's training ground in Olival according to Portuguese media.
