George Carden/BBCThe death of Chichester City FC player Billy Vigar has “completely sent the club in a spin”, say fans.
Former Arsenal academy striker Vigar sustained a “significant brain injury” during an away match at Wingate and Finchley FC last Saturday.
It is thought the injury was caused when he collided with a concrete wall, but the club has not confirmed this. The 21-year-old died on Thursday after several days in an induced coma.
Getty ImagesFloral and card tributes to the Worthing-born footballer have been left at Chichester City’s ground.
A petition calling for a ban on brick walls around football pitches has received more than 4, 000 signatures.
Launched by Jack Mison, it states: “Billy’s passing is not an isolated incident—countless players at all levels have suffered serious injuries, including broken bones, concussions, and life-altering trauma, as a result of these dangerous barriers.
George Carden/BBCMichael Stemp, from Bognor Regis, says he supports the recently-launched petition.
” I think that’s very sensible, I think this is long overdue… a few years ago there was a player at Bath]Alex Fletcher] who was badly injured, “he said.
Luke Griggs, chief executive of brain injury charity Headway UK, said this” tragedy has to be the catalyst for further discussions “about how to mitigate the risk of such head injuries.
He said:” This is the second such incident in the last few years, with Alex Fletcher of Bath City experiencing career ending injuries through a similar incident…
“Lower league football or rugby clubs with small, traditional grounds cannot be expected to rebuild their stadiums overnight, but there must be more accessible, affordable ways to mitigate the risk of this kind of injury”.
George Carden/BBCMr Wilson, who did not attend the game, added: “In a way I’m almost glad I wasn’t there… I can’t imagine what the players must be going through”.
Mr Stemp says he feels “very cut up” by Vigar’s death.
“It’s so sad for a youngster of only 21”, he added.
Wingate and Finchley, which has postponed its match against Canvey Island FC on Saturday, said everyone at the club is “deeply saddened” by the 21-year-old’s death.
“Our sincere condolences go out to Billy’s family, and to our friends at Chichester City FC at this incredibly difficult time”, the club posted on X.
Chichester City, whose match against Lewes on Saturday has also been postponed, posted: “Rest in peace Billy. Forever in the hearts of all at Chichester City Football Club”.

An unlikely addition to next year’s Primavera Sound festival line-up has thrilled members of the public. The likes of My Bloody Valentine, The Cure, and Gorillaz will headline the Barcelona-based festival in 2026. Further down the line-up are brilliant bands like Geese, Wet Leg, and Yard Act, as well as a few surprises in the mix for good measure.
But some were puzzled by one act in particular being so far down on the line-up, and have gone as far as to say they should be headlining the festival. The xx, Addison Rae, and PinkPanthress were among the headliners for next year. Skrillex, Peggy Gou, Doja Cat, and Massive Attack are also listed as show headliners.
An appearance from an artist who has featured in some of the biggest Hollywood films of the last few years has surprised people as they are lower down on the roster and many believe she should be top billing.
Fans who spotted Cara Delevingne sandwiched between Geese frontman Cameron Winter and the great post-rock group caroline were confused as to how the Hollywood star wasn’t headlining.
Not only were they wanting her to headline the show, they didn’t even realise the Paper Towns star had been making music. One person wrote: “Cara Delevingne what are you doing here?” Another added: “Like genuinely what? Does she make music? I am so confused.”
A third person has since shed some light onto Delevingne being on the Primavera Sound line-up. They wrote: “She does. She’s a singer/songwriter and also plays drums.
“She made two albums (2013) and (2015) when she was managed by Simon Fuller but neither were officially released when her contract negotiations stalled with labels. They all wanted her to change her name.
“She has done soundtrack work and production work and writing for other artists. she most recently worked with Fiona Apple on her 2021 album, Fetch The Bolt Cutters.
“Her new project under her own name will be out next year so this show will likely focus on debuting the songs from that.”
Others believe next year’s festival line-up, which also features Big Thief and Baxter Dury, is a surefire hit for the festival.
One person shared: “Top quality lineup. Can understand the 2025 lineup being a big hit for pop fans but this is much more like it, right up my street.”
Another added: “Man, I am jealous of whoever ends up going. Hell of a lineup, even the more obscure artists are great.” A third added: “This line up is sooooo good. All the acts on this line up are amazing and also relevant, something other festivals are lacking.”

Eurovision Song Contest members will vote on Israel’s participation in the 2026 competition in November.
The European Broadcasting Union (EBU), which oversees the event, confirmed the plan on Friday. International demands for Israel to be excluded from the contest due to the country’s actions in Gaza have been growing.

The board of the EBU, an umbrella organisation for public broadcasters that runs the event, has sent a letter to members indicating that the vote will take place at an extraordinary general meeting held online in early November, a spokesperson said.
The vote will be on whether Kan, the Israeli public broadcaster and member of the EBU, will participate, the spokesperson said. An “absolute majority” would be required for an exclusion to pass, he said.
Countries including Ireland, the Netherlands, Slovenia and Spain have demanded that the EBU exclude Israel, citing as a precedent its decision to remove Russia from the show following its invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
During the past two editions of the competition, the event has been drawn into the controversy over Israel’s devastating war in Gaza, which has now killed more than 65,000 people.
Pro-Palestinian activists protested in Malmo, Sweden, in 2024 and in Basel, Switzerland in May over Israel’s participation in the contest.
In September, a United Nations Commission of Inquiry concluded that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza.
Last week, Spain threatened to boycott the competition – the world’s largest live televised music event that takes place in May – if Israel takes part. Ireland, Slovenia, Iceland and the Netherlands have made similar threats.
Germany and Austria have backed Israel’s participation.
Other countries, such as Belgium, Sweden, and Finland, are also considering a boycott and have until December to decide.
Aside from Russia, the EBU previously booted former Yugoslavia from the competition due to UN sanctions over the Balkan wars in the 1990s, and Belarus in 2021 over its crackdown on media freedoms.
