Awful news. What an incredibly talented and exciting footballer he was.

RIP.

Easily forgotten but his tackle on VDS at Fulham and his goal at Pompey is one of the most important moments in our invincible season.

And his performance against United in the Community Shield remains one of my top 10 Arsenal solo performance ever.

He was also very influential in our CL run in 2006

Stunned. Unleashes a flood of nostalgia for another time.

The cutback at 10min was technically so flawless and intelligent. I remembered watching it in real time and thinking how simple that was yet I got wowed by it. Champagne football

Life so fleeting. Gotta slow down for the day at least. RIP jose.

I lost a friend much too young a couple of weeks ago. He was 26, and died in a motorcycle accident. He was speeding (verified by witnesses), lost control of his Ducati and hit a kerb. He incurred a brain injury on landing.

Kid was brilliant. He was principal harpist in about a dozen Perth ensembles, a brilliant singer and composer, and his career as a doctor was developing fast. One of the most courageous people I ever met—he was always doing stuff like posting videos of him jumping off moving horses and that kind of thing.

Anyway, bit of a long and personal reflection on another death much too young. No one should be dead before their time, and I'm sorry that Reyes has gone. People will remember him for his electric pace and his instant threatening running when he appeared at Arsenal from Spain. God we could use a player like him now.

Puts everything into perspective. No matter how young and invincible you feel you are, you are vulnerable. Death is around the corner and it comes without warning.

RIP Jose Antonio.

It's been a rough week.

Sorry for your loss Burnsy.

So sad about Reyes, he provided some amazing memories at Arsenal at a time we were the best team around.

I hope those cunts Gary and Phil Neville offer their condolences. They both tried to break his leg when Reyes played against them.

Eagerly followed his career post arsenal.

Have to say the moment I read it I was literally shocked. Couldn't digest what I was reading.

Gracias por tu magio, el mago.

RIP.

Along with Gilberto he was my favourite back in the day.

such a fucking loss. so sad.

going to go listen to martin tyler say "REYESSSSSS!" 5000 times

Sorry for your loss Burnwinter and sincere condolences to the family of Jose Reyes. Life is indeed fleeting, a privilege to be grateful for. Puts sport in perspective.

Jose Antonio, Jose Antonio, Jose Antonio, Jose Antonio 🙁

Such sad news.

Was so looking forward to him rejoining us in the summer as well. Would have had so much to bring to our players.

Whats that?

Sadly enough I didn't watch him much at Arsenal but I did watch him during a Real Madrid match. Real Madrid were 0-1 down on the final day of the season and they needed a win to claim the title. They put Reyes on, and he scored two in the 3-1 win.

He was set to join Emery as a coach this summer.
