Last week, the dead body of the Greece international was discovered in his Athens swimming pool.
Before joining Panathinaikos in the Greek Super League in the summer, the full-back played 219 games during his seven years at Bramall Lane, helping the South Yorkshire team earn two promotions to the Premier League.
After working with Baldock at Oxford United, Wilder signed him in 2017. As the team gets ready for Friday’s Championship match against Leeds United, Wilder stated they are still attempting to process the news.
“It’s been really difficult,” Wilder said on Sheffield’s Radio. “Don’t you think that puts everything in perspective?
Although we work in the football industry and are football fans, Friday’s game is just one aspect of the game.
I have to discuss both the game and the tragic death of a player who was very important to everyone at Sheffield United.
