Goalkeeper, 14, dies after match injury

A 14-year-old goalkeeper has died after he was injured in a “freak accident” involving another player at a youth football match. Luca Campanaro, a Bedgrove Dynamos player from Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, was hurt at an away match in Hillingdon, west London on Sunday. He was airlifted to the Royal London Hospital where he died on Monday. Luca’s father, Americo Campanaro, said: “I feel like my heart has been ripped out.” Campanaro added: “He was a big lad, a big unit, that’s why he was a goalkeeper, with a big heart to match. A gentle giant.” He said his son was “very popular” and would “do anything for anyone”.
