hasper57saint Posted 9 January, 2012 Share Posted 9 January, 2012 Tell you how small a world it is Alps. The fella who collects Mrs.H's 'Hospice Lottery' saw my Saints badge on my 'top' and told me that 'His Uncle played/Managed Saints!'

ART Posted 9 January, 2012 Share Posted 9 January, 2012 Sad story and maybe had Liam been living in Hampshire and taken to a hospital here he might have survived.

Dimond Geezer Posted 9 January, 2012 Share Posted 9 January, 2012 That's awful. My condolences to his family. The same thing happened at my sons rugby club about 6 years ago. There was a horrible atmosphere around the club for a while - god knows what the family were feeling. Very sad indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 9 January, 2012 Share Posted 9 January, 2012 The death of a child must be the very worst thing life bestow on anyone, but grief is the price we pay for love they say .... and what a terrible price his loved ones must be paying tonight. I'll spare them a thought for what it's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
View From The Top Posted 9 January, 2012 Share Posted 9 January, 2012 He was running back to the centre circle are celebrating with his dad and granddad and just collapsed and fitted. He was dead then. They gave CPR etc until the ambulance arrived and he was pronounced DOA. My nipper was playing at the same time yesterday and Stafford Falcons, the opposition, is run my people I know and the U13 manager is a mate. His players and families had to watch it all, especially the dad and granddad seeing their nipper die. 'Kin awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was dead then. They gave CPR etc until the ambulance arrived and he was pronounced DOA. How awful. What a nightmare vision. Joy (and I've felt it when my kids have scored) giving way so suddenly and quickly to world-shattering heartbreak. Awful, awful, awful. I really could have done without the details, they feel burned into my mind now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weston Saint Posted 10 January, 2012 Share Posted 10 January, 2012 Here was a real Saints supporter who died in similar circumstances http://www.smile4wessex.org/index/our-history The Charity is doing good work but needs more donations. Last season Mr Cortese allowed a bucket collection outside of SMS and allowed us to use their offices to set it up on the day. Fantastic response from the supporters at all gates.

ART Posted 10 January, 2012 Share Posted 10 January, 2012 This was a very tragic story but has absolutely nothing to do with Southampton Football Club or Saints as we know it. THe AFCSaints are the church team from Knutton in Staffordshire. Some have been mislead into believing there is a relationship with our Saints or Southampton Football Club. R.I.P.
