Tveir af fyrrum liðsfélögum Jóhannesar Eðvaldssonar hjá Celtic minnast Jóhannesar á Twitter í dag sem féll frá í gær af völdum COVID-19.
Jóhannes var afar vinsæll hjá stuðningsmönnum Celtic eftir að hafa leikið 127 leiki fyrir skoska félagið. Á þeim tíma lék Jóhannes 188 leiki fyrir Celtic.
Hann lék um tíma 34 leiki fyrir Íslands hönd, heldur færri en bróðir Jóhannesar, Atli, sem lést um haustið 2019.
Greint er frá því á 433.is í dag að Jóhannes hafi látist úr völdum COVID-19.
Really sorry to hear that a great man Johannes Edvaldsson has left us. He was very good to me in the first year that I came to Celtic. RIP pic.twitter.com/JOVMkYqRTH

Very sad to hear of the passing of Johannes “Big Shuggie” Edvaldsson. Big part of the team when we beat Rangers 4-2 to win the league in 1979. My thoughts are with his family. @CelticFC pic.twitter.com/vSiLioHoUM

So sad to hear of the death of Johannes Edvaldsson. Saw all 'Shuggy's' games for Celtic from 1975 to 1980. He was Celtic's first real foreign player, a pioneer for Iceland. Rest in peace Johannes. #CelticFC pic.twitter.com/a11D9KPHxg
