On Saturday 20th September, during a fixture for Chichester City FC, our friend and teammate Billy suffered a severe brain injury.

He was placed into an induced coma and fought courageously through surgery and treatment. Tragically, on Thursday morning (25th), Billy passed away.

The outpouring of love and support since his injury speaks volumes about the remarkable young man he was and how deeply he was admired across the community. Billy was one of the kindest, most genuine people you could hope to meet, and we feel incredibly lucky to have shared time with him both on and off the pitch.

This page has been set up to raise funds for Billy’s family, and loved ones, to support them in any way they may need and to help create a lasting legacy that extends far beyond football.

Please give what you can and show the strength of the football community when we come together for one of our own.

Rest in peace, Billy. You will never be forgotten
