Football Player Dies

Motherwell captain Phil O’Donnell died after collapsing during Saturday’s match against Dundee United, club chairman Bill Dickie confirmed.

O’Donnell, who was 35, was taken off the pitch at Fir Park on a stretcher in the closing stages of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League match. He was set to be replaced by substitute Marc Fitzpatrick in a match Motherwell won 5-3, but fell to the pitch as the change was taking place.

Vital Queens Park Rangers send our deepest condolences to Phil O’Donnell’s family.

RIP
