Saint-Armstrong Posted 6 February, 2014 Posted 6 February, 2014 http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/club-statement-sam-gallagher-1343308.aspx Southampton Football Club would like to send its heartfelt condolences to forward Sam Gallagher following the sad death of his father, Richard, at the weekend. Richard passed away last Saturday following a short illness. As a result, Sam has been excused from training this week and will not be available for this weekend’s game against Stoke City. We are sure that all of our supporters will join us in extending our condolences to Sam, his mother, Sally, and the rest of the Gallagher family at this sad and difficult time. Terribly sad news. Thoughts with the Gallagher family, he would have made his father very proud.
pangy Posted 6 February, 2014 Posted 6 February, 2014 Nice touch from the club,as said above no doubt his father would of been incredibly proud RIP

doggface Posted 6 February, 2014 Posted 6 February, 2014 Terrible news, condolences to sam's family. Glad he saw his 1st goal for the 1st team
Dr. Kucho Posted 6 February, 2014 Posted 6 February, 2014 Condolences to Sam and his family. Cant imagine how hard it must be for someone to lose a close relative at such a young age.
Matthew Le God Posted 6 February, 2014 Posted 6 February, 2014 (edited) It gives more meaning to this photo. On the day it looked like a manager congratulating a youngster he gave full debut, now we know there was a lot more going on... Make his performances in the 1st team even more impressive given the circumstances. Edited 6 February, 2014 by Matthew Le God
Bad Wolf Posted 6 February, 2014 Posted 6 February, 2014 Will be praying for the family at this difficult time. Very sad news.

Raging Bull Posted 6 February, 2014 Posted 6 February, 2014 Poor kid, really feel for him. May explain why he looked so devastated when he missed that chance vs Arsenal. His dad watching him score on his debut would've meant the world to him. R.I.P
JRM Posted 6 February, 2014 Posted 6 February, 2014 Poor kid, really feel for him. May explain why he looked so devastated when he missed that chance vs Arsenal. His dad watching him score on his debut would've meant the world to him. R.I.P Very Sad, RIP, He did score v Yeovil in the Cup so hopefully he got to see that.
eurosaint Posted 6 February, 2014 Posted 6 February, 2014 Tragic, I assume that his dad was still a young man, it will take a lot out of the lad in the short term but at the same time it puts football into perspective ! RIP Richard Gallagher.
scotty Posted 6 February, 2014 Posted 6 February, 2014 Really bad news, add my condolences to those above. My own dad passed away last week, I'm 52 and was still devastated, can't imagine how it must feel to lose your father at such a young age.
Suhari Posted 6 February, 2014 Posted 6 February, 2014 That's so sad. My thoughts are with Sam and his family. Bet Dad was so proud to see Sam perform in the way he did against Yeovil and Arsenal. RIP.

david in sweden Posted 6 February, 2014 Posted 6 February, 2014 as others on here, I send condolences to Sam and his family.

Andre Posted 6 February, 2014 Posted 6 February, 2014 My absolute condolences to Sam and his family, and I echo what was said above; I'm sure his father was proud to see Sam make his Premier League debut, score his first goal for Southampton, and it's a tragedy he will not get to see his son grow up to be a class player. RIP.
SNSUN Posted 6 February, 2014 Posted 6 February, 2014 Sad news. Pleased he managed to make his debut (and score) while his father was around to see it.
Pedro Posted 6 February, 2014 Posted 6 February, 2014 Condolences to Sam and his family. Was poor Sam the player who had the personal problem that MP referred to earlier when talking about the squad. Must have been an awful time when he learned of his fathers' illness that seems to have been fairly quick.
Sevvy Posted 6 February, 2014 Posted 6 February, 2014 Condolences to Sam and his family. RIP Richard, Sevvy.
