Seems it was a terrible accident and no malice whatsoever. Heartbreaking for all involved including the family, the other player and the referee whom i sure will be affected by this. Football can be a cruel game sometimes!!

I had a game earlier this season where the gk had a collision to the head his coach told me that he would be keeping him on as he seemed alright and they had no subs, Game continued and for 5 mins he was fine pulling off a great top corner save however he started clutching his head and screaming in pain so the coach came on and said to me "I think I'll just take him off" and when walking off whilst still on the pitch he collapsed having what looked to be a fit with his legs all over the place (No disrespect ) he was shouting saying he didn't know where he was or what was happening I decided to call emergency services and game abandoned 15mins into 1st half. It's one of the scariest moments in my refereeing career and I would defo next time insist that the gk go off if I suspected a head injury. FYI the GK was kept in hospital for 2 days then discharged and continued his recovery at home.
