Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder says he has been left ‘stunned and numb’ following the tragic death of his former player George Baldock. The football world was left shocked on Wednesday when it emerged that Baldock, 31, passed away at his home in Athens after drowning while swimming in his pool.

Speaking to my wife, and I think it's quite matter of fact, I think we're getting to that age where we're going to more and more funerals. And obviously through your life, you lose people you love and you respect.

Chris Wilder expressed his shock and sadness at the death of George Baldock as he remembered the former Sheffield United defender.
