Crabbycanary3 994 Posted September 16, 2019 Haven't seen anything in the media about this? I hope the family can be mildly comforted that he died at such an occasion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KiwiScot 1,436 Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) Not being a regular match goer I didn't realise that(until I worked at Ibrox) a number of people do die from heart attacks at football matches. The tension and sudden excitements just lend to it. A sad day for the persons family and the result is immaterial. Try standing up at the funeral and saying that it is ok, because Norwich won. Football doesn't matter at such times. Edited September 16, 2019 by KiwiScot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
