Irish Football Club Announced Player Dead After Returning to Spain

A very funny article on OneFootball:

An Irish football club has apologised after falsely reporting a player had died, which prompted the postponement of their own match and a minute’s silence to be held at others.

Ballybrack claimed Fernando Nuno La Fuente had been killed in a road traffic accident and their Leinster Senior League (LSL) clash with Arklow Town on Saturday was suspended as a result.

But it later transpired that the Spanish player was, in fact, still alive and had returned to his homeland.

What an absolute screw up.
