The Ego Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Motherwell FC Captain Phil O'Donnell, 35, has passed away after collapsing on the pitch, and suffering a suspected seizure. I for one am devestated. I think i played against this guy when he had a preseason game for Sheff Wed down here in Cornwall. RIP POD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takerlives77 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Yeah, I heard about this...Sad stuff, I'm actually Aussie so I'm not really an English "Football" fan...More of an admirer of it and to hear something like this is saddening.

Blasphemywebleed Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 RIP Phil. As a Kilmarnock fan you were a pain in the arse at the best of times but you will be well missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cappyboy Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Saw this on AOL and didn't quite make the soccer connection until I pulled the story up. All I know of the Scottish league is what I've played in management sims. So this is the first I'd heard specifically of O'Donnell. But man such a crushing blow to Motherwell. It's never easy to lose a teammate. But a captain as I'd read he was? This team's really going to have it rough the rest of the year. RIP Phil O'Donnell and my condolences to Motherwell.

Slim Jim Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Very sad news. He was playing alongside his nephew [I think; it was definitely a fairly close relative], can't begin to imagine how bad it must have been for him to see a family member collapse like that. RIP Phil O'Donnell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blasphemywebleed Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Hey there, If everyone could spare a couple of minutes to email a tribute to Phil O'Donnell I'm sure his family & club would greatly appreciate it. If you email a message to [email]odonnelltribute@yahoo.co.uk[/email] along with your name and where you are from the message will be added to the club website and I'm sure will be forwarded to Phil's family. For anyone who isn't aware Phil collapsed on the field during a football game, he died shortly after. Although not the most talented individual what he lacked in ability he more than made up for in passion. He was a true gentleman of the game and despite the lack of CAPS is, and always will be a Scottish footballing legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
