Abdulrahman Al-Shoaibi (Arabic: عبدالرحمن الشعيبي) is a Saudi Arabian footballer for Hajer Club (Arabic: نادي هجر) .[1][2]

On October 20, 2005 in a match between Al-Raed and Hajer, Abdulrahman Al Shoaibi collapsed after a kick to the neck and had a dramatic seizure on camera. This later became famous as an urban legend for a YouTube clip apparently showing an "angel of death."[3] In fact he had a seizure due to a rare type of epilepsy and was fit to play for Hajer's next match.[4]
