Michael Palmer was just 23 years old when he collapsed on the football pitch playing for a Sunday league team, his teammates have now paid tribute to their 'loving and caring' friend.
Team-mates said Michael was ‘loving and caring’ while his family said their loss will be ‘forever felt’ and hope that more can be done to prevent young football players from dying.
They added: ‘He would always find a joke in a situation – and I am sure if he were here with us today – he would have found one and we would have laughed. ‘If you entered his room at any point, you would find him sitting there with two screens for his Xbox, a screen for his laptop, and his iPad all tuned in to games and live football streams – whilst messaging his friends from his phone.
‘Though I think he had forgotten the early days of conversion-therapy where he wore a Tottenham shirt, with the same passion that he later wore the Manchester United one.‘It is therefore fitting that Michael’s passing, notwithstanding the pain for those he leaves behind, was on the grassy velvet of the football pitch he so adored.
