Barnsley Fan died last night

[berksimps]

A guy apparently collapsed next to one of their coaches. From their forum:

“As an organiser of Hoyland Reds. I can sadly say the person died. The person in question is a man Called Anton Roberts. Keen Barnsley Fan along with many other members of his family (6 at the game last night) . He resided in Jump all his life. I was fortunate to grow up with Anton on the same street. An absolute kind considerate man.
I'm 100% sure the family will appreciate your kind comments. I've been allowed to post on Hoyland reds Facebook page a comment from his brother.
RIP mate.”

It puts the game in perspective. RIP fellow football fan.

RIP, Anton. There's no love lost between rivals, once the game starts, but the love of our clubs' is something we have in common.

That is really sad to hear, go out to watch a simple football match then never go home. RIP Anton.

Terrible, thoughts are with his family. At least in his final moments they all appeared to be out together, enjoying something they all loved
