For more than three decades, Iwan Junaedi was a devoted fan of the Indonesian soccer side Arema FC, barely missing a game at the club in the country's top-flight league.

But Saturday's match would be the last time the 43-year-old father of three would see his side play, as he became one of 125 victims caught up in a crowd stampede at the end of the game in the town of Malang in East Java province.
