    Nothing to do with money, that's just a commodity.

    The highest price you can pay is your life..You never expect to go and watch a game and never return.

    Seems this Welsh lad has paid the highest price of them all.


    Police were called to an incident involving a number of men before the match.

    The dead man, who was 44, was taken to a central London hospital with head injuries and pronounced dead at 8.50pm.

    It is understood the victim may have suffered a heart attack after the assault.

    Six men, all believed to be Welsh fans, have been arrested in relation to the incident.

    A London Ambulance Service (LAS) spokesman said: "I can confirm that LAS got a call at 7.20pm to reports of an assault outside Wembley Stadium.

    "Staff treated a man who had suffered a cardiac arrest. Extensive efforts were made to resuscitate the patient and he was taken to hospital."

    Staff on standby at the international match were on the scene within three minutes, the spokesman said.

    Police believe they have identified the victim but await formal confirmation that all his next of kin have been informed

    What a **** day his family are looking at right now, and there`s nothing we can say or do to change that, so for their sakes, justice should be swift and harsh. sport is supposed to be just that, sport. the mindless violence Must be removed , and replaced with mutual respect. my best wishes to the family.

    This is a purely ridiculous scenario how anyone can go to a game of football and not return due to violence is beyond me. Such a tragic loss for something ultimately pretty meaningless.
