Former Ireland striker and Sunderland chairman Niall Quinn has paid tribute to former Black Cats goalkeeper Marton Fulop who has passed away at the age of 32.
The Hungarian goalkeeper played in England for eight years for the likes of Ipswich, Coventry and Sunderland.
His former club MTK Budapest confirmed that he passed away after a long illness.
He had a tumour removed from his arm in 2013.
Niall Quinn was chairman at Sunderland when Fulop joined the club and paid a fond tribute on Sky Sports.
"[He was] the most beautiful man and brought nothing but joy and a big radiant smile into the Sunderland dressing room. I echo the sentiments of all those players, ex-players, colleagues and people that would have known him by saying he was one of the good guys. I can tell you he was one of the very best," said Quinn.
