Jesus that's brutal.

Awful news, complete shock. Hearing rumours too but I just think it's people talking and nothing more in it.

Sad day for the club and I'm wondering how it'll affect the team.

Thoughts are with his family, it's so difficult losing someone this suddenly.

R.I.P. Awful.

Omackeral

Woke up just now and my missus said out of nowhere that the Derry City captain died and I thought she was just talking mumbo jumbo in her sleep. I said to her "say that again?!" and she said clear as day "yeah a guy called Ryan Mc something passed away". Couldn't believe it, wish she was just sleep-talking.

Club Statement

Derry City Football Club is deeply saddened by the untimely death of out captain, Ryan McBride. Our prayers and thoughts are with his father, Lexie, his sisters Colleen, Siuinin and Caitlain, and his partner Mairead who are heartbroken at his loss. We are also conscious of his teammates and our management and support staff. Ryan was a player and a great captain but he was also their friend and teammate. They are deeply shocked and will miss his inspiration and his leadership.

Our supporters are also shocked and saddened. To them Ryan was Derry City through and through. The commitment and passion he brought on to the field is the bond that binds player and supporter.

In the hearts and minds of all of us and long into the future Ryan McBride will be remembered as one of the greats of Derry City Football Club.

We are also conscious that this is the anniversary of the death of the members of the McGrotty and Daniels family in Buncrana and only a short time since we remember Mark Farren's death.

It is at times like this that we are reminded that our club is also a community of people. As in the past, that community will come together to comfort and support Ryan's family.

In the coming days and weeks we will grieve the loss of out captain and our friend. Sometime in the future, when we have got past the initial shock and have had the proper space to grieve his loss, we will find a way to celebrate his life. We will remember his civility and humility off the field, his commitment and passion on it and the deep love he carried in his heart for Derry City Football Club.

When you put it like that it is even more frightening what happened him. Really shocking. Poor guy. His poor family and friends.

Very tragic, only 27 too which is heartbreaking

So sad, and another reality check. 27, only a young lad.
Puts things into perspective.
