George Baldock, who made 12 appearances for Greece's national team and also played for Sheffield United during his career, tragically passed away on Wednesday night.
The Greek Football Federation has, reportedly, been in 'constant contact' with UEFA in an attempt to postpone Thursday night's Nations League game with England - following the tragic death of George Baldock. The body of the England-born Greece international, 31, was reportedly found in his swimming pool at his property in Southern Athens on Wednesday night.
After his tragic death on Wednesday night, the Greek FF released a statement: 'With profound sadness and sorrow, the national team - and the Greek Football Federation - bid farewell to George Baldock,' it read. 'There are no words to describe the human pain caused by the news of the unexpected loss of one of our own, young, man. The moment forces silence. Condolences to his family. Condolences from his second family,' as that statement was also published via The Mirror .
