Former Orlando Pirates striker and coach Ian Palmer passes away
Ian Palmer, a former Orlando Pirates striker and one of South Africa's most notable instructors, has passed away. Palmer's death was revealed on Thursday afternoon with his previous team, Pirates, paying respect to him on social media.
Palmer was 55 years old when he died and the cause of his untimely passing is unknown at this time. Palmer started his career as a striker for the PG Rangers but it was with Pirates that he moved his career to the next level in the 1980s.
His playing career, however, was cut short owing to a renal condition. In 2016, Palmer received a kidney transplant.
