"He was a role model for many, a football legend and of course an honorary citizen of Hamburg.

May God bless them and keep them during these trying times.
"I was shocked and very distraught hearing the news about CJ. He was a great person, teammate, and had a infectious personality. He wore the pride and tradition of the Buffaloes on his sleeve. One of the best competitors I've coached at the WR position. Rest In Peace CJ."Former British rugby league player Ricky Bibey may have died during a sex game gone wrong at a hotel in Italy, according to reports.
