That is so horrible and yet it's so clear: That's the ultimate conclusion of what goes on...And it behoves every board to denounce violence from their own side: not condone it or explain it or mitigate it or those who practice it.

WoW, I wonder what that was all about then?
Modified:
WTF, A self pronounced hooligan has a heart attack after fighting with fellow Welshmen? There's gotta be more to this.

Taken from a Cardiff MB
The sad news tonight is that Mikey Dye (Ely Trendy) has died tonight after an incident outside the away turnstiles at Wembley.
I would urge everyone to leave the whispers, rumours and stories going around the internet tonight where they are out of respect for Mikey's family members and leave your condolences here.
I have been asked to put this message out from the club and I have also been asked to say that the club will give Mikey a send off on Saturday at the Doncaster game. The club officials have passed on their condolences and will do so again this Saturday.
The police have an investigation ongoing and they are looking for 2 males in relation to the incident.
RIP MIKEY DYE

RIP to him. Was at the game, neither saw nor heard of any trouble. Strange, someone coming in who didn't know better would have had no idea there was anything between Wales and England.
Sad story that

RIP to him. Was at the game, neither saw nor heard of any trouble. Strange, someone coming in who didn't know better would have had no idea there was anything between Wales and England. Sad story that It was all between Welsh fans, so far no reports of English involved. Although Cardiff fans seem to blaming us. |

Wales fan dies following crowd trouble outside Wembley
• Trouble flares prior to qualifier between England and Wales
• Metropolitan police confirm murder investigation is under way A crowd of 77,128 were inside Wembley for the Euro 2012 qualifier between England and Wales. Photograph: Matt Lewis - The FA via Getty Images Police have launched a murder investigation after a Wales supporter aged 44 died when trouble flared before the Euro 2012 qualifier with England at Wembley. The man was taken to hospital with serious head injuries, after having suffered a heart attack. Emergency services were called to the concourse outside the stadium at about 7.20pm on Tuesday night. The man was pronounced dead at 8.50pm. Six people have been arrested in connection with the incident. A Metropolitan police spokesman said the victim and the suspects were Wales fans. A London ambulance service spokesman said: "I can confirm that LAS got a call at 7.20pm to reports of an assault outside Wembley Stadium. Staff treated a 44-year-old man who had suffered a cardiac arrest. Extensive efforts were made to resuscitate the patient and he was taken to hospital." Staff on standby at the international match, which England won 1-0, were on the scene within three minutes, the spokesman said. The victim was taken to a north London hospital in an ambulance belonging to a private medical contractor employed by Wembley. He was pronounced dead at 8.50pm. A postmortem examination will be arranged in due course. Police believe they have identified the victim but await formal confirmation that all his next of kin have been informed. Officers from the Met's homicide and serious crime command are now investigating his death. Cardiff City released a statement to confirm that the deceased was a supporter of the club. "Late on Tuesday night, details reached us concerning a tragedy where a Wales and Cardiff City supporter died at the match between England and Wales," the statement read. "Out of respect for the family of the supporter, the sensitivity of the situation and until full details and circumstances are ascertained, no statements will be made until deemed fit by proper channels." The death of fans in violence in or outside grounds is a comparatively rare phenomenon. In 2010, a football fan from Darwen, Lancashire died after appearing to head a bin thrown by a fan during Stoke City's match with Blackburn Rovers at the Britannia Stadium. An Aston Villa steward died in 2003 during a running battle between more than 100 rival hooligans after a game between Villa and Queens Park Rangers. 1985 was said to be when football reached its lowest point in England. At a Second Division game, Leeds and Birmingham fans clashed before, during and after the match, ripping up St Andrews and killing a 14-year-old-year old fan when a wall collapsed on top of him. On 24 August 1974, 17-year-old Blackpool fan, Kevin Olsson, was stabbed to death at the back of the Spion Kop, Bloomfield Road at Blackpool's home match with Bolton Wanderers. In 2009, Blackpool supporters raised money for a memorial plaque for Olsson. In August of that year, on the 35th anniversary of his death, the plaque was unveiled beside the club shop. www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/sep/06/wales-fan-dies-trouble-wembley

On the news this morning, they are saying it was a minor scuffle and the guy had a heart attack.
RIP to the guy involved and condolences to his family.
Seems it may have been blown out of proportion but time will tell.

www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2034520/Football-fan-beaten-death-fight-outside-Wembley-ahead-Euro-Championship-qualifier.htmlMr Dye, who worked for Cardiff Council’s highways department, had commented regularly on Cardiff City FC football websites and there were suggestions that he had links with hooligans. Posting under the name Ely Trendy, he wrote in 2009 about a series of fights he had been involved in during the 1980s at the height of football hooliganism. He talked about sitting alongside opposing fans and said that in 1984 at a Fulham FC match, he ‘battled to get out in one piece’. In another post he said in Colchester in 1985 ‘our train mob all on there, midweek game about 20 us, fighting like f***’ Last year he was arrested and appeared in court for football violence-related offences.

Well, sorry if it appears unsympathetic but - "As ye sow, so shall ye reap". Nobody should die as a result of unnecessary football violence but then again, there is no place for such violence in the game.

no matter what his past, i dont see how he deserved to die, i hate football hooligans, but i would rather they saw the errors of there ways than see them get killed, maybe im to soft, but i hope his death will desaude others from football violence, then at least something good comes from it.
but i also think the next time swansea and cardiff meet will be more hatefilled than ever, r.i.p.
