Paulo Futre denies own death, ex-Sporting man fumes: Morons | OneFootball

Paulo Futre publicly came forward to deny the news of his alleged death, after a post featuring a funeral announcement alongside his image circulated on social media. The message included a farewell text referring to the former player.

The ex-footballer responded on his social media to the false information, describing the post as a way to attract clicks. In a critical tone, he showed his displeasure toward those who spread the content and considered its publication inappropriate.

"Mentally retarded, I’ll be waiting for you in hell," he said. The image-based "news" had been shared on the Seleção Central page, where it also read: "Tragic loss. The entire football family is mourning as we announce the death of Portuguese legend Paulo Futre, who passed away at the age of 60"

Despite being one of the pearls of Sporting’s youth academy, Paulo Futre played for Sporting, making 29 appearances and scoring three goals in the 1983/1984 season, before moving to rivals Porto.
