On Saturday 25th June, one of our fellow Saddlers, Ryan Harvey, was attacked in Blackpool in what was seemingly an unprovoked and very violent attack.
Ryan was placed into a coma and taken to Royal Preston Hospital where he was cared for and it had been hoped would recover well.
Unfortunately and very sadly, Ryan was unable to recover and was pronounced dead yesterday morning (Tue 28th June).
A page has been set up to help Ryan’s family pay any associated funeral costs and it would be amazing if the UTS family could contibute anything they can to help.
Ryan was just 22 years old, and has been taken away from his family, and his love of Walsall Football Club in such a cruel, unwarranted manner.
Finally, not to detract from the main post in any way at all, but there were two Walsall FC supporting females that took a bit of a kicking too, and @DanG_WFC was there and took quite a bad beating too, whilst trying his best to keep Ryan awake.
I’ve seen Dan today and he’s in OK spirits at the moment but I would like to say what a credit he has been standing by his mate, when others didn’t offer to come and help or check how they were.
What can you say Lukeyboy, words fail me, they really do. My deepest condolences to the family and all loved ones he leaves behind. He had his whole life in front of him…till some scum oxygen stealing tw@t carried out this heinous act. RIP dear Ryan Dear Dan, thank you from us all for being a true hero in doing your best, God bless you sir.
Rip Fellow Saddler, Full respect to Dan helping a friend while putting your own life at risk. Condolences to Ryans family. Some people really are scum hope they are brought to justice if it was up to me it would be a life for a life.
Absolutely shocking and makes you wonder what kind of people would do something like this to completely innocent fans having a day out with there mates.I know Ryans dad went to school with him thoughts are with the family Absolutely tragic😓
