– Now the Christmas feelings are gone. This was shocking news. Hard bomb, legend of Tappara Timo Jutila told Iltalehte about the trip.
– Strength for loved ones, Jenny [tytär] and everyone else.
Jutila had wished Pate to Mustajärvi Merry Christmas with a message. The Popeda legend had tried to call “Juti” the night before.
– I wasn’t on the phone at the time. I then tried to call back, but I couldn’t get hold of Pate.
At the Tappara Boxing Day game, a moment of silence was held in memory of Mustajärvi. The legend slept off on Boxing Day.
Popeda’s song Mää and Tappara’s man, performed by Mustajärvi, plays regularly during breaks in Tappara’s matches.
– This is a legend, a real legend.
– Now Pate is gone, but the beautiful memory of the legend of Mansen and Ikur will remain forever. Pate, now take possession of that kingdom of heaven. My friend, you will be listened to forever. Pate of the whole nation, Jutila said
