Story

25th February, our son Michael (23) collapsed, and died, on the pitch at Crowland FC, playing football. So many people did so much to help, but Crowland FC had to collect a shared device that was under lock and key.

Michael was a man of fervour and commitment, but with humility and confidence in equal measure, and a friend, coach and mentor to many. His story was reported across the BBC, ITV and national press, and across social media and the tributes are humbling for me (father) and his whole family and community of friends

Michael's loss will be forever felt, and as our hurt fades to scars, his light will shine the brightest in our galaxy of stars. And though we will move forward, we can take solace in our pain, that Michael will never be forgotten, and we will all remember his name.
