Pavel Srnicek's funeral to take place in Czech Republic

Former Newcastle goalkeeper Pavel Srnicek's funeral will take place in the Czech Republic on Monday.

Srnicek died on Tuesday at the age of 47 after the decision was taken to switch off his life support machine.

The former Czech Republic international, who won 49 caps for his country, had been in an induced coma since suffering a cardiac arrest while out running in his home town of Ostrava before Christmas.

Funeral services, to which friends and colleagues have been invited, will take place at the Ostrava Vitkovice house of mourning on Monday, Jan. 4.

Srnicek made 150 appearances for Newcastle between 1991 and 1998 and went on to have spells with Sheffield Wednesday, Portsmouth and West Ham before returning to St James' Park in 2006.
