Unbelievably Lucas has been hit with a second family tragedy in just five months.

Tributes were being paid today to the father of Lucas Radebe, who lost his battle with prostrate cancer at the weekend.

Johannes Radebe, 72 passed-away at the weekend.

Just five months ago, Lucas was mourning the death of his wife Feziwe who died from bowel-cancer.

And in December, he suffered a health-scare having been taken ill at a gym.

The "Leeds Chief" was due in Yorkshire at the weekend for dinner in his honour on Friday and he was scheduled to be guest of honour for the clash with Swindon on Saturday.

The dinner has been put back to Friday May 15th 2009.

I am sure you will join us in expressing our deepest sympathy to Lucas.
