The Brazilian, who left the Potteries in February, has passed away from a suspected heart attack

Teixeira had been playing for Moldovan club Sheriff, but hadn't featured for them since the final day of last season.

The centre-back joined Stoke for a reported £400,000 from Dukla Banska Bystrica in 2013, but only made two Premier League substitute appearances for the Potters, against Aston Villa and Bournemouth.
