Shocking news that was communicated by Fortitudo Bologna: in fact, through a rather touching official press release, the Bolognese company announced the death of Reuben Douglas, one of the legends of Effe and, in general, of Italian basketball. The former player suddenly contracted a rare disease at the age of 44 when he was in Costa Rica. His brother Ramon communicated the news to Fortitudo Bologna with a call that the Bolognese club would never have wanted to receive ( given the cause).
Ruben Douglas leaves us, but the bond with Fortitudo Bologna will be eternal
Reuben Douglas he left us at the age of 44, but in the hearts of all Effe fans he will live forever. In fact, it is impossible to forget what the former player represented for the Bolognese club: Douglas was the man of the second Scudetto in the history of the club, given that way back in 2005 he was the author of the three-point basket at the siren against what was then theArmani Jeans Milan which made the Fortunate fans explode with joy after a few interminable seconds of instant replay.
Fortitudo Bologna also writes in its press release that Douglas would one day want to coach Effe and that, although quite a few years have passed, Ramon’s brother always asked the Bolognese club for updates regarding the progress of the team. In short, the bond between Ruben Douglas and Fortitudo Bologna has never been broken, and is destined to remain forever.
