Junior Agogo was one of those players who came along in our darkest hour, turned us around, and made the City Ground somewhere to look forward to visiting again. Will always have a special place in the memories of our #nffc family. pic.twitter.com/huli46ZPKC

Awful news that former Chester striker Junior Agogo has died at the age of just 40. Went on to have a superb career before suffering a stroke in 2015. RIP.
