Wingate and Finchley Football Club have demolished a pitch-side concrete wall at their north London stadium following the death of Chichester City striker Billy Vigar.

The 21-year-old footballer died last month after suffering a serious brain injury during a match between the two sides. 

In the weeks since the tragedy, Wingate and Finchley have reportedly taken down the wall that surrounded the pitch at their Maurice Rebak Stadium in Finchley. 

The Football Association has confirmed it is carrying out a safety review.

Tributes have continued to pour in, and supporters have also expressed condolences, with many calling for tighter safety measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.
