It still doesn't seem real. The man had a smile that could light up any room. The first time I met him he gave me a Mexicana on the train to Munich that he made himself and claimed that it "burns twice" (he was right). He will be sorely missed. Thank you ever so much to everyone who has donated, especially those that had never met him.

Sorry to any of you that knew this guy, he sounds like he was pretty special. 

Over €21,000 have been donated to his wife and child to help support them.

The Bochum players have also chipped in and donated.

 

An incredible show of support.

Marcel, “Mac” to almost everybody, was a friend of mine and a group of other Leicester fans that have forged a strong friendship with VfL Bochum fans in Germany. He’d visited Leicester on multiple occasions and managed some away trips too, including Brugge ticketless, Liverpool away on our minibus and others too. 

 

Mac was such a warm, infectious character - genuinely, he was always smiling, laughing & joking. He had time for absolutely everyone but did his utmost for us City fans. He’d always offer to pick Bochum-bound Leicester fans up from the airport, offer you some homemade Mexikanas and buy you a drink. A truly kind soul.

 

Over the years many of us have shared great moments, goals, laughter, currywurst and lots of Fiege with Mac.
Tragically, Mac passed away after being hospitalised when hit by a car on Saturday night following the Bochum game.

 

Devastatingly, Marcel recently married and had his first child, a daughter, 18 months ago. He’ll leave an indelible presence with his young family.

Bochum and Leicester fans have created a fundraiser to support his family in this difficult time, if you could spare anything, the price of a pint or something more, myself, Mac’s friends and family would be incredibly grateful. The link to fundraiser is below.

 

Rest in peace Mac, you’ll be missed deeply.

Last few hours this fundraiser is up for. Proudly raised over fifteen hundred pounds.

Once finished we will be sending over all the donations to the equivalent of the FoxesTrust at Bochum, they are coordinating the fundraising. The fan scene over there have managed to raise over thirty thousand euros and counting for his wife and small child. Everyone hopes this amazing show of support can ease somewhat the terrible time they are in.

Ideal draw for the guys to take a few days off to come and drink with us. I know of two cars coming so far.

Just make sure they don’t throw any objects at match officials :ph34r:
