An Irish amateur football club has organized a macabre drama to avoid having to go to an away match: Ballybrack FC has announced the death of Fernando Nuno La Fuente – but he appeared a little later , alive and well. Friends and colleagues called him, reported the Spanish from the Irish Times: "So I discovered that I was supposedly dead."

Apparently it is necessary to prevent at all costs that the team of the senior league of third clbad Leinster in Arklow Town runs, which finally ended. La Fuente, who was no longer active in Ballybrack at the time, knew that his name was to be used to delay the game. However, we first spoke of a false leg fracture. Then everything got worse.

Before the league games, minutes of silence had been held and La Fuente and his wife had to rebadure several family members and friends after the terrible news. The club is publicly excused.

"They've also apologized to me," La Fuente said. "This has happened to no one, I think it's a bit funny." However, a now-famous club secretary Ballybrack FC has apparently lost his position.
