Club Statement

All connected with Forfar Athletic Football Club would wish to pass on their deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Crusaders fan Billy Whiteside who so tragically collapsed and died on the terracing at Station Park during yesterday’s Irn Bru Cup tie between Cove Rangers and the Belfast side.

As ever it brought football into perspective.

The club would also like to thank the medical staff who were on duty at the game, those who volunteered their services from the crowd and also the Scottish Ambulance personnel for their speedy response.

Sadly all their efforts were to no avail.
