Football fan knocked out by ball after striker misses goal

This is why you should always pay attention to what’s happening on the pitch during a football game. If you don’t, you may get knocked out by a stray ball like this elderly man at a Sutton United vs Ebbsfleet United pre-season friendly. A video showed the supporter crashing to the ground after getting struck in the face when one of his players attempted a shot from outside the area. To be fair to him the shot was struck with real venom so he didn’t have time to get out of the way. The fans and players were immediately concerned and called for medical attention. We’re not sure when the elderly man came around but he would have been pleased to find out his team Sutton United beat Ebbsfleet United 2-0 at their Gander Green Lane home, in south London. The game took place on July 30. | Metro News via IFTTT
