An Irish football team has incorrectly announced the death of one of their players

An amateur football team from Dublin apologised this week after falsely announcing the death of one of their players in order to have a match postponed.

Ballybrack FC announced that Fernando Nuno La-Fuente died in a motorbike accident on Thursday 22nd November, but reports emerged that he had flown back to his native Spain on Saturday 24th November.

This was all incorrect, as La-Fuente had actually relocated to Galway around two months before the announcement of his death.
