Former Sheffield United and Panathinaikos defender George Baldock had told team-mates that it was 'a bit s***' that he wasn't able to see his son on his first birthday shortly before his tragic death
George Baldock was sad that he would not be present for his son's first birthday on the day of his death, one of his former Panathinaikos team-mates has said.
Shortly before Baldock passed away, he spent time at Panathinaikos' training ground where he was receiving treatment for a minor injury. He also spent time in the sauna with Alexander Jeremejeff and Erik Palmer-Brown, who recalled their final moments with him. Defender Bart Schenkeveld dropped Baldock home that evening and was one of the final people to see him. Baldock's close friend, Hordur Magnusson, was in disbelief and went to the player's villa after hearing the news of his passing."But when I saw 20 police guys on motorbikes outside his house, and the ambulance as well, the club staff members and the investigative police going inside, then I realised: ‘F***. He’s gone.
