The Hungarian player played for the Blues during the 2010-11 season.

After spending time in Hungary, Fulop joined Tottenham Hotspur in 2004, where he was loaned out to Chesterfield, Coventry and Sunderland, before signing on at the Stadium of Light in 2007.

After 44 appearances for the Black Cats, Fulop was loaned out to Leicester, Stoke and Manchester City, before he was signed by Roy Keane at Portman Road.

A season later, Fulop joined West Brom, before moving to Asteras Tripoli in 2012.

In February 2013, the Hungarian revealed he had symptoms for a tumor, and went through surgery twice.

In Nov 2013, Marton was given the all-clear to play football, after he had a tumor removed.

The club said on Twitter that they were "deeply saddened to learn of the passing of former 'keeper Marton Fulop."

"Our thoughts are with Marton's friends and family at this immensely difficult time."

Fulop died at the age of 32.
