Overview

• Chichester City said in a statement on X that Billy Vigar sustained a significant brain injury and has been placed in an induced coma.
• The injury occurred during a weekend Isthmian Premier Division match against Wingate & Finchley in the opening minutes, and the game was abandoned.
• Media reports say Vigar collided with a hard pitchside surface while trying to keep the ball in play.
• Play stopped immediately as emergency crews attended, with local reports indicating he was later airlifted to a London hospital.
• Vigar came through Arsenal’s youth ranks before moves to Hastings United and Chichester City, and well-wishes have poured in from across non-league football.
