UAE back-healer killed car crash
Controversial penalty taker Theyab Awana dies in car crash
A footballer who became an internet sensation after scoring a backheeled penalty earlier this year has been killed in a car crash.
United Arab Emirates midfielder Theyab Awana, 21, died after being involved in an accident when travelling back from training in Al Ain to Abu Dhabi, the country's football federation have confirmed.
Awana was considered one of the country's emerging talents but is best remembered for scoring a controversial 78th-minute penalty in the UAE's 7-2 international friendly win over Lebanon in July.Awana slotted home the spot-kick with his heel after running backwards towards the spot. He was shown a yellow card at the time and immediately substituted by coach Srecko Katanec.
Footage of the penalty was subsequently circulated on the web and has received well over a million hits on YouTube
Idiot should have put his cell phone down, slowed down and watched out for that truck that he was trying to pass in the wrong lane. No sympathy he brought it on himself.
true.. we will remember him for his act of stupidity, rather than the skills and joy he berought :O(
How fickle and temporal the hold on life is. Only 2 months ago Theyab was brought to the world's attention........of course it's different for the people who knew him as a person......but it makes this more the shocking as it seems to be a bright and bright blaze of life so suddenly cut short.Apart from his friends and family this is what he will always be known for, so it's only right to see it again:
It's shocking...Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi rajioon!
Sad Loss!
From the title I thought he was some sort of Doctor who healed back pain!
May he rest in peace.
