The fan who suffered a medical emergency during Bolton’s League One match with Cheltenham which was subsequently abandoned has died.
Lifelong fan Iain Purslow suffered a suspected cardiac arrest during the first half of the game.
The 71-year-old was given sustained CPR treatment by medical staff and paramedics at the stadium before being taken to hospital where he tragically died.
Iain, who lives in Oldham, was at the game supporting the Whites with his son Stuart.
Club Chaplain Phil Mason remained with family members later in the day and the Club will continue to offer the family all the support and care they can – as well as looking to offer support to anyone else impacted by this distressing incident.
