I am devasted by the news that Paul Parish, our supporter who suffered a medical emergency at the match this afternoon, has passed away.
I’ve been told that Fulham Football Club played an extremely important role in the entirety of Paul’s life, with Craven Cottage serving as a second home where he would spend many afternoons as a season ticket holder, supporting his club in the company of family and friends.
We are honoured that Paul chose Fulham as his club, and I personally wish Paul’s loved ones comfort, support and peace in the days ahead and beyond.
To Marek Rodák and all supporters nearby who summoned for help, I am grateful. I join everyone at FFC in commending the work by medics and stewards, whose response to the matter was incomparable.
Finally, the reverence shown by Fulham and Blackpool supporters alike served as a reminder of good in the game of football, and the goodness within all of us.
