O/T Mark Philo RIP

[Mr F]

Many of you footie fans probably heard about this on the weekend.  Wycombe Wanderers Midfielder Mark Philo died in a car accident on Saturday. 

He was one of the most promising youngsters we've had at the club but had been plagued by injury since breaking into the squad two years ago under Tony Adams.

I'm deeply saddened by this news as are all Chairboys fans.

RIP Mark

That is sad news. Loosing anyone is a sad thing to have to go through, famous or not, and especially at such a young age as well. Im sure the fans will respect the minutes silence. RIP.

Yes heard the news and remembered you were a Wycombe fan. Tragic to die so young.

Went to the Barnet game on Saturday, the first game since he died.  Lots of gutted people there.

There was a minutes silence and several Only one Mark Philo Chants during the game.  Best moment was after one fo these the Barnet fans applauded and started There's only one Kevin Durham, (he played for both clubs back in the conference days) when that stopped we applauded back.  Was actually nice to see fans being respectful to each other.  Shame it has to take tragedy to make it happen.

The inquest to this was last week.. It turns out that the promising young player, who everyone has been grieving overand getting upset for, was one and a half times over the limit, had drunk about 6 or 7 pints of lager and was cruising  for somewhere else to go at 1 in the morning with two mates.  He struck a grandmother who died instantly, she had been called by her daughter who was pregnant and had to go to hospital for an emergency, the grandmother was on the way to babysit.

Some people make me sick.

Does change the story somewhat. I can never understand someone deliberately drinking and driving. Such a waste of a life, especially given the opportunities that he had.
