green_man Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Just hearing the tragic news around the internet of the Owls fan who tragically collapsed and lost his life at today's game against Leeds. Despite being breaking news on The Star website, it is yet to be confirmed however it seems legit which is very sad indeed. My thoughts are with all of this poor chaps family and friends today.

potlegs Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) I do hope there was only one serious incident of this nature today. I don't think green-man is using his knowledge as a paramedic but said that the news was 'around the internet' - the Kop End report appears to be from someone who knows the elderly gentleman in question. Fingers crossed all will be okay for that fella. More breaking news - there may have been a younger fella who was taken ill too and the 'news around the internet' that green-man writes about could well be about this chap. Crikey this is not good.

Hi All, Potlegs is right in regards to my source being the internet. I'm not working today therefore this isn't something that I have picked up on via the work grapevine. This is very sad indeed. I too was hoping that these were all just social media rumours. Maybe the thread title needs amending until such a time that the correct information surfaces?
