Anger at decision not to stop Sheffield Wednesday v West Brom match

Fans took to social media after the match to question the time taken to treat the man.

One fan at the game, who wished to remain anonymous, told the BBC that while CPR could be delivered, there was no room to do immediate mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and there was limited space to get the stretcher down on to the concourse.

The man, who said he helped deliver first aid, also said the aisles at the Hillsborough Stadium were not wide enough to carry stretchers.

The BBC has approached Yorkshire Ambulance Service for more information.

Posting on X, formerly Twitter, the victim’s brother said: “My heart is truly broken, my son had to watch my brother pass away and lose an uncle, and is left with those memories.

“I have had to break the news to my parents and his wife.

“My brother loved the Baggies, he was my best mate and going to a game will never be the same.”
