Simi Posted 29 December 2007 Author Posted 29 December 2007 Motherwell midfielder Phil O'Donnell has died after collapsing during his side's 5-3 win over Dundee United.O'Donnell collapsed to the ground as he was about to be substituted at Fir Park and received five minutes' treatment before being stretchered to an ambulance. But Motherwell chairman Bill Dickie has confirmed that the 35-year-old has died after being taken to hospital. Speaking after the game, before news of O'Donnell's death had come through, Well manager Mark McGhee confirmed the substitution was 'a coincidence'. McGhee later replaced David Clarkson - O'Donnell's nephew - who had been shaken up by the incident. "We took Clarkson off because he got a fright from the nature of the collapse," said McGhee. "A few of the boys got a fright." O'Donnell started his career at Motherwell before leaving for Celtic in 1994 and then joining Sheffield Wednesday five years later. He returned to Fir Park in January 2004 and was captain of a Well side who have been performing above expectations this season.
SamL Posted 29 December 2007 Posted 29 December 2007 Tragic. Regular tests need to be done on sports stars. RIP. My thoughts are with his family.
Darkzzz_ Posted 29 December 2007 Posted 29 December 2007 This is just getting beyond belief... I cant believe what is happening!! This happend to 2 people i have connections with in the last couple of months... One of my brothers team mates died in october he was 41 and had a heart attack in the second half and died.... And on boxing day my sisters boyfriends team mate was in goal and he collapsed in the second half and died in hospital... This just tops it off.... what is happening!! very devastating and puts us moaning about a point into perspective...
