I’ve seen the letter sent to football’s chiefs urging action on dangerous pitch-side walls. Billy Vigar’s death was avoidable – he might be alive if they listened, writes IAN HERBERT

Today, one of the most fragmented parts of a young footballer’s life is the prevalence of the winner.

Billy Vigar’s 21 -year -old death, after colliding with a concrete wall during a match, it seemed to be a freak event, but previous warnings.

Similar events that see the Association of Professional Footballers, are getting their concerns until the last government’s sports minister.

However, as in most of the threats and dangers discussed in football, absolute disaster and loss of life took the authorities to get rid of their drowsiness and movements.

The deadly injury of Vigar, among those who stayed in the hassle, continued to prevent Chichester City’s Wingate and Finchley from passing the contact line during the Isthmian League Premier Division match against Wingate and Finchley. player.

During a abandoned match, Fletcher’s opinion, which was prone to the field, seemed to be the moment to take action. He needed an emergency surgery, he was in a coma and did not play for about a year.

PFA General Manager Moheta Molalago met with Conservative Sports Minister Stuart Andrew and asked for help to encourage the action.

Mollango and the Minister FA, the National League, Premier League and EFL’nin I saw the common letter sent to the managers of the FA – to adopt a proactive approach and to work with the clubs to prevent such a thing again.

He couldn’t really put the case more clearly. Opened with legal necessity – the fact that they violated the 1974 Health and Safety Law, leaving football players under the risk of collision with these concrete walls.

However, he addressed the moral and ethical responsibility of young men and women who put everything in line for football.

He called on to look at any standard guidance that they can give to their clubs.

Some kind of filling on these walls. It is something to change the distorted perception of clubs that are more concerned about the walls that protect fans rather than players. And what kind of difference did it make? Apparently none.

Alex Fletcher is not the only player who has a close longing. Last year, the fans who watched Camberley Town and Balham saw Balham’s hospital with a shaking and a broken wrist.

FA actually included the collision in its Tiktok accounts, then apologized and lifted it. Only last week, Paul Heatley, who was seen by the Irish League club Carrick Rangers, laid a hospital after such a terrible injury during a match with Bangor.

While complaining, Fletcher expressed his disappointment of the failure of the game and the money earnings.

The problem said in December 2023 a year after the injury that PFA was still working in the brain health team, which he was still working for.

Fet’s response to Fletcher’s comments 21 months ago was gloom. Scandal in the context of Friday news. “It is the responsibility of the clubs and the owners of the venue to ensure that the participants are safe for the reason”.

PFA was waiting for a full investigation into the decision to decide on Friday and the death of the young Billy Vigar. He’s aware of the fact that a family is upset. However, further warnings condemn those who want to take collective action, but never walk around. It is not an exaggeration to say that Billy Vigar could be alive today if he had paid attention to this objection.
