A football club in Lincolnshire is grieving after one of their players suddenly collapsed and died during a football game - Manchester United fan Michael Palmer suddenly lost consciousness playing for Crowland Town FC on Saturday

Tributes have flooded in to a football player who died after collapsing on the pitch during a game.

Michael Palmer was playing for Crowland Town FC reserves on Saturday, February 25 when he suddenly collapsed. The Manchester United fan, 23, sadly never regained consciousness.

His heartbroken family said in a statement that it was "fitting" that Michael's passing was "on the grassy velvet of the football pitch he so adored."

Dad Mike said: "With a strong sense of duty, Michael wanted the best for those around him, and nothing was too much to ask. He was the very embodiment of valuing people and relationships above everything else.

"And with fervour and commitment, but with humility and confidence in equal measure, he inspired those around him to work harder, try harder, give a little more, walking alongside them and taking them with him on the journey."

Mike added: ""Michael’s loss will be forever felt, and hurt fades to scars, his light will shine the brightest in our galaxy of stars.

"And though we will move forward, We should take solace in this pain, that Michael will never be forgotten, and we will all remember his name.”

The family added that Michael "lived up to the principles and values that he had grown up with."

Michael's best friend Harry Grigas added that he feels "like we’ve lost one of the funniest and kindest people in the world."

He said: "I became close with his family and still have remained close. I would spend the night round his dads and grandparents house.

Was he vaxxed and fully boosted? I think it’s a total of 6 shots now. I lose track.

Obviously, this guy wasn’t a top tier player so really this thread is not important or necessary. He was a no one from a little known news source. Why did you even post it? -sarc

I don’t think he was wearing shoulder pads or a helmet. That’s probably the cause.

>> Is [being vaxxed] a requirement to be on a [pro-vax] list?

Quite possibly when it concerns vaxhole lists
