Sarkic, sem var fæddur í Grimsby á Englandi 1997, hafði komið nokkuð víða við á ferli sínum og spilaði fyrir ófá lið í ensku deildunum, þar á meðal Aston Villa sem þar hann fór í gegnum unglingastarfið, Wolves og Stoke, svo einhver lið séu nefnd.
Er hans minnst með mikilli hlýju á samfélagsmiðlum og er það gegnumgangandi stef í kveðjum fyrrum liða og liðsfélaga að Sarkic hafi verið hvers manns hugljúfi sem hætti aldrei að brosa.
🖤 RIP Matija Sarkic 🖤
