Heading ball caused 'tragic jigsaw of events'

A SOCCER-loving dad-of-two died after a simple header during a Sunday football match triggered a tragic chain of events, an inquest heard.

Macclesfield Town fan David Belk, 50, of Tytherington, died from a brain haemorrhage in hospital following a "tragic jigsaw of events" which started when the ball struck him nine-days earlier, causing a tiny tear in a blood vessel, a coroner ruled.

   Dave Belk was a prominent player for Crown Villa for a long time during their hayday years.. His father used to come and watch every match. So sad to hear of his passing. God Bless. Sue
