Steve Harper has poured his heart out in the wake of Pavel Srnicek's death.
The former Newcastle United goalkeeper passed away on Tuesday after being in an induced coma following a cardiac arrest suffered while jogging in his native Czech Republic just over a week ago.
Ex-Magpies gloveman Harper worked alongside Srnicek at St James' Park between 1993 and 1998 and was extremely grateful to the 47-year-old for everything he did for him early in his career.
A truly beautiful soul has left this world far too early!! Thank you so much for everything you did for me Pav pic.twitter.com/0nXY6JUGRq
