Condolences to Villa fans from myself, and I’m sure I’m safe in saying from all fellow Wolves fans too.
Such a hard thing to get your head round, that another human being actually died at a football match. An almost numb feeling really, I can’t get it to sink in.
Hard as it may be, you must not let this spoil yesterday’s game. The day the thugs find a way of spoiling football for “normal” fans, is the day football dies. Fans from all around must rally and show that true football will always prevail over anything the thugs can do to taint the game.
