Crumpy Gunt Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Due to a player dropping dead apparently. No news as yet on who the unfortunate soul is until next of kin etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 This is the exact reason I'm in a foul mood, it's devastating. It hasn't been announced yet, but during the Academy game that was the curtain raiser to the first team match, Wakefield Academy player Leon Walker passed away. Not sure how yet, but it's definitely true. His family have been informed and are now travelling to Bridgend. Can't believe this has happened to Wakefield though. It's only a few months ago that Adam Watene died during pre-season training. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Eye witnesses reported the player going awkwardly into a tackle, getting to his feet and playing the ball before then collapsing. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12196_5086736,00.html What an awful way to go. He was only 21 too. What must his parents be going through on the journey down to Wales, tragic stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
