Motherwell's Phil O'Donnell

[Aflux]

The Motherwell captain, who collapsed in today's game, Phil O' Donnell has died.

That's pretty sucky.

He was taken to hospital only to not make it out, only young as well.

its sad when this happens because most footballers are still fairly young:(

RIP Man <333

I feel sorry for his nephew as he now has to play for Motherwell still knowing that his uncle will not be there as captain.

I never knew that o.O

Was he a good player? ( The person who passed away )

well his nephew scored twice today and apparently he was a good player according to the motherwells 606 board

[Naruto!]

Considering he was the captain I would assume he was a very good player in SPL standards.

He was a good player i think, I support Rangers so I'm not particularly sure, but from what iv heard from my friends who went to the game today, he helped them to win the match, which ended 5-3.
And then collapsed during the second half.
He was only 35 =/

Rest in peace.

The Scottish Prem players will wear black armbands for the next game, and a minute's.. clap?
As thats the new "way" to respect people, instead of silence, you clap lol, i preferred the silence.

[Aflux]

I prefer applause - it's celebrating his life and remembering it at the same time.

Was watching Setanta Sports News tonight, and nobody said a bad word about him by what people were saying on there..
Football is unpredictable, even Healthy people can die at any time :(

Bad craic, like. Apparently he was complaining to the rest of his teammates that he was feeling weird just before he collapsed, but didn't mention it to Mcghee (sp?) 'cause he didn't want to get subbed. Must have been awful for his nephew that was also playing, and his wife who ran onto the pitch when they were trying to revive him.

On the day he died, his aunty (I think) was in a restuarant and she didn't know anything about it and someone walked upto her table and said sorry about Phill and shes like wth???
Anyway his funeral is tomorrow, the church is just down from me.

RIP Phill

RIP - Nice bloke with a loving family.

Although I thought he wasn't a very good player whilst with Sheff Wed and did earn himself two million quid out of a debt-ridden club for playing four games, he still enjoyed talking to fans and enjoyed the title of "The only player to sit in the stands".

We can only hope new procedures come in soon.
When i see that i mean every player has a test for a weak heart or other fatal conditions and then more of these will be avoided :(
