Torquay United legend Bedeau dies aged 45
Former Torquay United striker Tony Bedeau has died at the age of 45.
The former Chelsea youngster, who represented Grenada internationally, scored 65 goals in 374 appearances during two spells at the club.
He joined the Gulls as an apprentice in 1995 and helped them finish third in what is now League Two in 2004.
He left the club in 2006 to join Walsall but returned to Plainmoor a year later before ending his career at non-league Kingstonian.
Renowned for his pace and flair, Bedeau was revered as one of the best strikers to play for Torquay.
The club will hold a minute's applause in Bedeau's memory before their National League South game with Hornchurch on Saturday.
"Tony was one of the most exciting players to have worn the yellow shirt – and one of my personal favourites," co-chairman Michael Westcott told the club website.
"His pace and energy brought so much to the team, and he was much loved by our fans. We are deeply saddened by his passing.
"He will forever be a part of Torquay United's legacy, and we offer our sincerest condolences to his family and all those who knew him."
