Maguire says father suffered rib injuries in Wembley 'stampede'

Maguire says father suffered rib injuries in Wembley 'stampede'

ENGLAND defender Harry Maguire said his father was left with rib injuries and struggled to breathe after being trampled by fans during crowd disturbances at Wembley Stadium before the Euro 2020 final against Italy.

Supporters clashed with each other and officials, breached security cordons and charged into the perimeter area of Wembley before the start of Sunday's (11) game, which Italy won in a penalty shootout.


British police said 19 of its officers were injured while 86 people, including 53 at the venue, were arrested.

European football's governing body UEFA opened disciplinary proceedings and charged England's Football Association for disturbances.

"I think he was involved in a stampede and suffered a couple of injuries to his ribs. I spoke to him, he said he was scared," Maguire told The Sun.

"I don't want anyone to experience that going to watch football, especially a major final."

The FA said on Monday (12) it would conduct a full review into the security breach and condemned the behaviour of fans who forced their way into the stadium.

Inside Scotch Frost's £10m collapse: Why creditors may be left empty-handed

  • Family-founded food supplier Scotch Frost collapsed owing almost £10 million.
  • Administrators say unsecured creditors are unlikely to recover any of the money owed.
  • Falling sales, rising costs and intense competition were blamed for the company's failure.

A UK food supplier that served restaurants and retailers across the country for nearly six decades collapsed owing almost £10 million, with administrators warning that many creditors are unlikely to recover any of the money they are owed.

A newly released administrators' report has shed light on the final months of Scotch Frost of Glasgow Limited, revealing how declining sales, fierce price competition and rising operating costs pushed the long-established business into administration. The company, founded in Scotland in 1967, ceased trading in the closing weeks of 2025, resulting in the loss of all 17 remaining jobs.
