Harrogate V Hinckely was abandoned after 25min after one of the players collapsed. Medics tried to resusitate (sp?) him for a good 20min on the pitch and they were still trying once in the ambulance but just been confirmed that he has passed away. RIP

It's not known how he died, but he collapsed & swollowed his tongue. Confirmed dead around 6pm. He died from natural causes rather than an injury relating to the match, from what i have read, he just collapsed without any apparent knock.
Rest in peace Matt.
My condolences are with his friends, family, team mates & supporters.

Statement released from Hinckley...
HINCKLEY United Football Club regretfully announce the tragic death of Matthew Gadsby.
The 27 year-old collapsed midway through the first half of the Conference North game with Harrogate Town at Wetherby Road on Saturday.
Paramedics treated the central defender on the pitch and worked on him for over an hour after he suddenly collapsed on the field of play. No other player was involved.
He was taken to Harrogate Royal Infirmary but failed to respond to treatment.
Chairman Kevin Downes said: “This is an absolute tragedy and our thoughts are with Matthew’s family and friends.
“Incidents like this put everything into perspective and no-one can quite come to terms with what has happened.
“The medics were out on the pitch within seconds and their treatment was first class and they did everything they could along with the staff at the hospital which was next door to the ground.
“Matthew had made a big impact on the football club during his time at the Marston’s Stadium and he will be sadly missed by everyone.”
Sutton Coldfield born Gadsby began his career as a trainee at Walsall before breaking his way into the first team and making 23 first team appearances. He then moved to Mansfield Town and Kidderminster Harriers extending his Football League experience before he dropped into Non League football with Forest Green Rovers.
Swadlincote based Gadsby – a builder by profession - signed a one-year deal with Hinckley United in the summer and had been in outstanding form.
Mr Gadsby leaves behind a young daughter, and a wife, Sarah.
Hinckley United’s game away at Moor Green on Tuesday night has been postponed after today’s tragic events.
No further information is currently available.

Hamilton v Clyde was abandoned after a player caught in the neck by studs. Apparently now sitting up in hospital but treatment on pitch was lengthy. Confrontations between teams immediately after the incident may have led to abandonment.

That sucks, I remember when this player who played for Man City died, his name was Foe- didn't know his first name. He collapsed while playing..
On a lighter note, I live in Harrogate :D

Its quite sad, it is a weird coincedence on how they die. Footballers now days are mega fit compared to 50 years ago where they'd have a *** at half time.

Fadiga is from Senegal, he once collapsed whilst warming up before a game with Bolton but luckily he never died. But yeah, like Nekkle said you are probably thinking of Foe.
It's not known how he died, but he collapsed & swollowed his tongue. Confirmed dead around 6pm. He died from natural causes rather than an injury relating to the match, from what i have read, he just collapsed without any apparent knock.
Rest in peace Matt.

Why post that he swallowed his tongue? :P Now i'm scared I'll swallow mine :P

I think it only occurs when or if you have a fit, thats partly why you have to hold the persons head up when there having a fit.
