A petition calling for a ban on brick walls around football pitches has received more than 4,000 signatures, following Billy Vigar death.
Billy Vigar died after sustaining a severe brain injury during a match while playing for Chichester City.
He collided with a wall at the side of the pitch and was airlifted to the hospital, where he was placed in an induced coma.
Despite undergoing surgery, he sadly died on Thursday, 25 September, after several days in an induced coma.
The Football Association said tributes would be paid to Vigar at the FA Cup and lower league matches at the weekend.
This followed the Isthmian League – where Chichester City plays – announcing that a minute of silence would be observed before all its weekend matches.
