Very sad to hear this guy has died, only 42 I think. When he arrived on the scene, he was absolutely phenomenal, played so differently to everyone else. Here he is playing against another icon of the game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DLzIBks8Mg

Yeah, stunning news. Still can't believe both himself and Ducksie are no longer with us.

Chapman was without doubt the most intelligent handballer I ever saw. Had incredible belief in himself also. And when you saw his bald head, paunch and duck walk he looked like a middle-aged businessman trying to lose some weight I'm sure the world is still full of players wondering how he beat them so easily.

RIP legend.
