Dobbie remembers Idrizaj

17 August 2010 14:30
Swansea striker Stephen Dobbie has paid an emotional tribute to former team-mate Besian Idrizaj the wake of Saturday's 4-0 win over Preston. Austrian forward Idrizaj, 22, died of a heart attack in his sleep in May and the Swans held a minute's silence before the clash with Darren Ferguson's men. Dobbie delivered a fitting tribute by opening the scoring against Preston. He said: "Besian was a close friend and a great lad. I think my goal and the way we played here was a tribute to him. "He called me just a couple of days before he passed away. I was distraught when I heard. He was a fit lad and it shows it can happen to anyone."
