It was announced today that former Premier League goalkeeper Marton Fulop had died at the age of 32.

The Hungarian stopper spent six years in England, working at a number of clubs.

His most notable spell was at Sunderland, where he made over 40 appearances. He also featured for various other Premier League sides, including Manchester City, Leicester, Stoke City and West Brom. His first club in England was Tottenham, although he never made a first-team appearance during his time at White Hart Lane.
