important to Cardiff\nCity. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe cost a lot of money, he was destined to be a centre forward and score in the Premier League, so it\u2019s an enormous loss to say the

striker bar Lionel Messi. At that time, he had scored one goal every 98 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>Fans gathered to lay bunches of\ndaffodils and write messages on a white sheet which featured an image of the\nplayer.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>One fan wrote: \u201cForever a Bluebird,\nforever in our hearts. R.I.P Sala, fly high.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p>A private memorial service was also\nheld earlier today at St David&#8217;s Metropolitan Cathedral on Charles Street in Cardiff\ncity centre.
