Jeff Sperbeck, the longtime business partner, former agent and friend of Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway, died Wednesday at 62 as a result of injuries he sustained four days earlier in a “golf cart incident,” according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office.
According to reports, Sperbeck fell off the back of a golf cart.

The incident occurred Saturday night at a private golf community in La Quinta, Calif., according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office in California.
“After an initial investigation, it was determined that medical personnel responded and transported Sperbeck to a local hospital in critical condition. On April 30, Sperbeck was pronounced deceased as a result of his injuries,” the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement. “The Riverside County Sheriff’s Office is committed to conducting a thorough investigation into the death of Sperbeck and will take appropriate action based on the outcome.”
Paramedics took Sperbeck to the Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs, which is where he was pronounced dead early Wednesday morning.
Sperbeck began managing Elway’s business interests during Elway’s playing career with the Denver Broncos in the 1990s. The two opened 7Cellars Winery together in 2013.
“I am absolutely devastated and heartbroken by the passing of my close friend, business partner and agent Jeff Sperbeck,” Elway said in a statement Wednesday. “There are no words to truly express the profound sadness I feel with the sudden loss of someone who has meant so much to me. My heart and deepest sympathies go out to Jeff’s wife, Cori; his children Carly, Sam and Jackson; and everyone who knew and loved him. Jeff will be deeply missed for the loyalty, wisdom, friendship and love he brought into my life and the lives of so many others.”

Mainoo: EL triumph won’t make Man Utd’s season a success but would give hope
Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo has admitted winning the Europa League will not make the season a success but could provide a platform for the future. United travel to Bilbao on Thursday for the first leg of their Europa League semi-final against Athletic Club. The competition remains the club's only chance of winning silverware after a dismal competitive campaign. United will record their worst-ever Premier League points return come the end of the season and sit 14th in the top flight.Should United stay in 14th, it will be their worst top-flight finishing position since the club were relegated in 1974. However, despite the club's second-ever Europa League trophy being up for grabs, for Mainoo, the disappointment of their league displays will linger.
