Maguire’s dad trampled by ticketless fans at Wembley

England and Manchester United defender, Harry Maguire says his dad struggled to breathe as he was engulfed by a stampede of ticketless supporters at Wembley Stadium injuring his ribs in the process.

Large numbers of people reported that their seats had been taken by intruders, sparking heated and violent exchanges inside the north London venue.

A mob of fans were filmed storming past stewards ahead of the EURO 2020 final against Italy on Sunday – punching and kicking them to force their way through.

Among those caught up in the chaos was Maguire’s dad, Alan, who was left with suspected broken ribs after being knocked to the floor.

The 56-year-old accountant was crushed alongside Harry’s agent, Kenneth Shepherd, as they tried to get to the seating area for players’ families.

Alan was left struggling to breathe and was in excruciating pain, but he did not ask for medical treatment as he was determined to see his son play such a momentous match.

‘It was scary, he said he was scared and I don’t want anyone to experience that at a football match.

“The experience at Wembley is always amazing, filled with great people and great fans normally.

“But this time was obviously the final and everyone got overwhelmed and the way some people acted was totally wrong,” Maguire told the Sun.

The Manchester centre-back says his dad will always come to games to support him, but that he will be a little bit more cautious of everything going on around’ after his ordeal.

Meanwhile, UEFA has already confirmed that an investigation is underway following the disorder at Wembley to bring all perpetrators to book.
