Jose Antonio Reyes

One of the most talented footballers of Spain's golden generation

Not sure about that, but RIP Antonio

Adieu JAR.
You will always be in our hearts. 🙏

Absolutely tragic news. I too remember that brace against Chelsea in the FA cup. A really talented little player who helped the club on the way to our defining Invincibles season. RIP Jose, Invincible

What are you talking about, he came to Arsenal with a bigger reputation than Ronaldo. Extremely talented player, was one of my favorites when he first joined. Obviously his career probably did not pan out the way he would have hoped but even so, he contributed so much to so many teams and won’t a lot of trophies

RIP. Terrible news.

He was insanely talented. I read an article from Guillem Ballague I think it was that said he was more of a relaxed personality and didn't have the drive to push himself further but he was happy that way. Still had a great career.

I have a photograph of the 2004 parade my friend took, I climbed up a lamppost and was able to shake Henry and Ashley Cole’s hand on the top deck as they drove past, Cole gave me such a big massive hand shake that I didn’t see Reyes behind him and he was holding the trophy, Reyes reached out to me but we just missed shaking hands, and we both laughed and smiled, we almost shook hands, but he couldn’t reach out as far as Henry and Cole because he was holding the trophy, legend.

news that his cousin jonathan reyes also died in the crash

terrible day for that family

Not disputing his was talented at all. I just do t agree that he was one of the most talented of that Spanish generation.

Probably a conversation for another day though.

RIP Jose
