Billy Vigar: Concrete wall demolished following Chichester City striker’s death

The Football Association said it would carry out an immediate safety review of perimeter walls at football grounds in the National League after Vigar’s death.

Former Bath City striker Alex Fletcher retired from football in 2023 after fracturing his skull in a collision with an advertising hoarding in November 2022.

The now 26-year-old was placed in a coma after emergency surgery and did not play for 10 months.

He has since taken a role in the brain health department within the Professional Footballers’ Association and believes Vigar’s death was preventable.

“This was an entirely preventable situation,” Fletcher told BBC Breakfast.

“It brought a lot of emotions flooding back for me but my overriding emotion was frustration that the calls for change haven’t been listened to by the FA.

“I’m afraid this will not be the last [death] if action isn’t taken.”

Vigar was a graduate of the Arsenal academy, leaving the club in 2024, and also had spells at Derby County, Eastbourne Borough and Hastings United.
