The club invents the death of a player

What if you do not have enough players and you have an important match on the outside? An Irish amateur club has a very macabre idea.

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 had called him, reported the Spaniard of 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 La Fuente, who was no longer active in Ballybrack at the time, knew that his name was to be used to delay the game.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.

Consequences for club staff

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.
