Sudden death
Tragedy at the European Championships: soccer fan never woke up
Tragedy at the European Football Championship in Germany: Colin King, a die-hard Scotland fan, died unexpectedly in Düsseldorf at the age of just 57. He had gone to bed early on Monday morning but never woke up.
On Friday, Colin King had loudly supported the Scottish national team against Germany (1:5) in the Munich stadium. Now the shock news: "Colin was a huge Scotland fan. Sadly, he passed away in his sleep on Monday night," the fans of "The Tartan Army" announced via X.
His nephew also mourned on social media. "After the dream of qualifying had become a reality, after the scramble for tickets and flights, after the disaster of the opening game, it all seems so unimportant now," he writes.
One-minute applause
At the match against Switzerland on Wednesday evening (9pm/live in the sportkrone.at ticker), there will be a one-minute applause in the fourth minute - at the family's request. In honor of Colin, who unexpectedly lost his life during the EURO.
