About Emiliano Sala
- Emiliano Raúl Sala Taffarel (Spanish pronunciation: [emi'ljano 'sala]; born 31 October 1990, disappeared 21 January 2019, confirmed dead 7 February 2019) was an Argentine professional footballer who played as a forward. After playing youth football in Argentina and following a short spell in Portugal's regional leagues, Sala began his professional career in France with Bordeaux, making his professional debut in February 2012.
- After struggling to break into the first team, he was loaned out to Championnat National side Orléans and Ligue 2 side Niort in consecutive seasons.
- He enjoyed prolific spells with both clubs, scoring 39 goals between them, before returning to Bordeaux.
- After initially being promised an increased role after his successful loans, Sala fell out of favour again, and instead, joined fellow Ligue 1 side Caen on loan. In 2015, he signed for Nantes on a permanent basis.
- With Nantes, he made more than 100 appearances in Ligue 1, and achieved a successful goalscoring record, finishing as the club's top goalscorer for three consecutive seasons.
- His form prompted a move to Cardiff City in January 2019, for a club record fee of £15 million (€18 million). Sala was involved in a plane crash off Alderney on 21 January 2019.
- He was a passenger aboard a Piper Malibu light aircraft flying from Nantes to Cardiff.
- An initial three-day search covered 1,700 square miles (4,400 km2) across the English Channel.
- Two subsequent private searches were launched, resulting in the discovery of the wreckage on 3 February; Sala's body was recovered four days later.
