I will always remember when younger, Herve and the boys would always play football outside my nans house! He was a great guy who will be sadly missed. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

I was Herve's Captain for his 1st under 15's sunday league football team, Rosedene Rovers FC and remember the 1st day I arrived for training. Herve was so welcoming to me, I was shy and unsure but just wanted to play football and all Herve had for me was praise even though I was very nervous and making loads of mistakes he said to me ''at least you have the guts to try'' and that has been a mantra for the rest of my life. I had the honor to play football with and socialise with Herve for 5 years, he showed respect to me and my family and my mum would always sponsor him in charity events!!! the biggest regret I have is the fact that I could not make his funeral as I was myself in hospital having an operation but that won't stop me remembering him everytime I watch his beloved Arsenal. Herve always said to me I was the greatest captain and goalkeeper he had ever seen, so I would like to take this opportunity to hand over my past captaincy to the true heartbeat of our former club, the biggest lover of the greatest game I have or will ever know, Rest In Peace my friend.
I knew herve through the years he had been with his beautiful girlfriend sarah, who i knew he loved very much. They were such a nice couple. He was so warm , gentle & kind, would do anything for you without a pause. He was a very special person, who i know brought happiness to many. It is such a tragic loss, i find myself still thinking it can't be true. Life is so unfair, i know that wherever he is now, will be somewhere as happy as he was. We miss you herve, RIP. Much love Charlotte & Carl xx
My wife and I live in Vallance Close in Burgess Hill a few doors away from where Herve lived. We didn't know him for very long but whenever we saw him or spoke to him he was always really friendly and cheerful. I remember the first time I met him early on a Saturday morning doing some chores out back and you could instantly tell he was a happy person. We are in shock over what happened and our thoughts and prayers are with his girlfriend, friends and family. May he rest in peace.
As some one who has been around your family for years but never really got the chance to get to know u in particular, you will truely be missed. All my love and support to your family...
