A young goalkeeper hanged himself after his fiancée left him for
his team mate - who is John Terry's older brother.
Dale Roberts, 24, killed himself after his 25-year-old partner
Lindsay Cowen had an affair with his Rushden and Diamonds team mate
Paul Terry.
Lindsay left Roberts in May after Terry slept with her while
staying at the couple's home.
Distraught Roberts refused to play alongside his cheating team mate
at the Conference club and Terry was swiftly released and joined
Darlington in August.
Paul is the elder brother of Chelsea and England footballer John
Terry. His fling mirrors that of John's alleged affair with Vanessa
Perroncel, ex-girlfriend of the star's England colleague Wayne
Bridge.
Lindsey admitted the affair when a suspicious Dale confronted her
at their home in Higham Ferrers, Nothamptonshire.
Last night, the 24-year-old was found dead in the house. Police
said there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the
death.
Roberts was left heartbroken by the split and struggled to cope
with losing his fiancée, according to friends.
A source said: 'They (Lindsay and Paul) became an item after Paul
stayed the night at the couple's home in Higham Ferrers when Dale
was injured.
'All hell broke loose and Paul ended up being released as the rest
of the team didn't want to play in the same side as him.
'Dale has been heartbroken about it ever since.'
A spokesperson for Northamptonshire Police said: 'We have been
notified of the sudden death of Rushden and Diamonds footballer
Dale Roberts, aged 24.
'There are no suspicious circumstances in relation to his death and
a report is being prepared for the coroner.'
Heartbroken Dale, 24, said at the time of the affair: 'It's true,
she told me she'd been seeing Paul.
'We've split up. I'm trying to get my head around it all, it's only
just happened. I'm a bit messed up.
'It is bad enough she's done it at all but the fact that it is with
him, one of my team-mates, makes it that much harder to
bear.'
Tributes had been flooding in for the tragic goalkeeper.
A statement released by Rushden and Diamonds said: 'It is with
great sadness that this afternoon our England C goalkeeper Dale
Roberts passed away, our thoughts and prayers at this time go to
his parents, family and friends.'
Eastwood manager Paul Cox, who had Roberts on loan at Coronation
Park in 2006, said it was 'an absolute tragedy'.
'I was only speaking to him on Saturday and he was one of the
nicest lads you will ever meet, as well as an excellent keeper,'
said former Kettering Town defender Cox.
'Some things are bigger than football and render it meaningless and
this is one of them.
'We totally understand the decision to call the game off after his
passing away.
'I have told Justin Edinburgh (Rushden's manager) that if there is
anything we can do to help at this very sad time then he only has
to ask.'
The footballer also used to play for Nottingham Forest.
A club spokesman said: 'Dale was with us for several years and was
enormously popular with his team-mates and coaching staff. We are
deeply saddened by the news of his tragic death.
'Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this sad
time.'
It runs in the family eh...? -______-
