Aaron Cawley, a football hooliganism record holder and former puncher of England goalie Chris Kirkland, is the Leeds United supporter who suffered life-threatening injuries after falling from the upper deck at Stamford Bridge.
The 33-year-old fan missed a barrier in the upper deck and fell onto an empty section of seating during Wednesday’s FA Cup match versus Chelsea. After attacking Kirkland in 2012, Cawley was banned from football for six years and given a four-month jail sentence.
Mateo Joseph fell over the barrier at Stamford Bridge after scoring his first goal in the 3-2 loss to Chelsea. He was taken to the hospital right away, but there has been no update on his health. “Leeds United can confirm an incident involving a Leeds United supporter occurred in the Shed End of Stamford Bridge during the first-half of tonight’s FA Cup game,” the statement from Leeds United read. The emergency services are handling the investigation into the incident. We won’t be commenting further at this time.
According to The Mirror, Leeds manager Daniel Farke stated: “Health is more important than football results, but football is unbelievably serious.” “We cross our fingers, send our best wishes, and pray.”
“Officers, along with paramedics and staff from Chelsea FC, responded to an injured man in the away end during the match with Leeds United on Wednesday, February 28,” a Metropolitan Police spokeswoman said. For medical care, the man was brought to a hospital. We’re waiting on word on his condition. The news has reached his family,” according to LeedsLive.
Although Cawley is prohibited from Elland Road games, Leeds has made it plain that he is permitted to attend many away games. Cawley sent an email to South Yorkshire Police that was read aloud during the Kirkland trial, stating, “It was a disgrace and I’m embarrassed by my actions… [and] brought shame on Leeds United Football Club.”
