Tragedy at Bromley FC as Fan Keith Hore Dies During Match
Fan Collapses Six Minutes Into Game
Keith Hore, a loyal season ticket holder, tragically died on Saturday during Bromley FC’s National League clash with Yeovil Town at Hayes Lane stadium. The match was halted just six minutes after kick-off due to a “medical incident” in the crowd.
After paramedics rushed to the scene, medics from both teams stepped in immediately to assist. Despite their best efforts, Keith sadly passed away, forcing the game to be abandoned.
