A devastated dad has told of his unending grief after his "legend" son died suddenly during a football match in Nottingham. Tubman Akwasi said the death of his 13-year-old son Samuel Akwasi is a pain that he has to face everyday.
Samuel was playing for FC Cavaliers U13s against WBCY FC Rossoneri, and had scored the first goal of the match before collapsing on the pitch on May 7 at around noon at the Forest Recreation Ground.
Dvarne Edwards, a sports assistant at the Forest Sports Zone, a separate sports facility at The Forest with artificial pitches, said he "ran over straight away" after he saw the boy collapsed on the grass, near a tree. Mr Edwards explained the boy received treatment and that an ambulance arrived within minutes.
