Football fan, 12, dies; Mother donates son's organs
Quote:
A 12-year-old boy who was struck by fencing as he watched a football match has died.
Tiverton High School pupil Olly Croker was airlifted to a Bristol hospital after the incident on Saturday but died on Monday.
A Bradninch club spokesman described it as a "freak accident".
Witnesses said the accident was sparked after two players crashed into an FA banner positioned at the side of the pitch.
Olly's mother Pippa called him "our gorgeous boy" and said his organs had now "given life" to five children.
The schoolboy was watching his brother in the fixture between Bradninch and Bampton when he was fatally injured.
Mrs Croker wrote on Facebook: "We would very much like you all to feel so proud of Oliver this evening, through organ donation he has given life to to 5 other children. He will live on in them. What very lucky boys and girls they are!!!
