Ajax Fan falls from stand - Critically injured.

An Ajax Amsterdam fan was seriously injured after falling from the stands at the Amsterdam Arena as he celebrated a goal in today's Champions League game against Barcelona, Dutch media reported.

He fell some 10 metres onto the dust track around the pitch after Danny Hoesen scored just before halftime to put Ajax 2-0 ahead in their Group H match.

The unidentified supporter was treated by medical staff, who arrived in a trauma helicopter at halftime and two ambulances, which collided with each other as they departed the track. One took the fan to hospital, reports added.

Hopefully the guy gets better.

At times like this football comes 2nd, surprised to see that they played on with a guy's life hanging in the balance just off the pitch.

Ouch that looks seriously horrendous, obviously a life-threatening injury.

I remember seeing some old tape from a Midlands derby back in the bad old football violence days of late 70's or early 80's, may have been Wolves v Birmingham, can't be sure. A couple of supporters climbed up on to the corrugated roof of a decrepit old stand to celebrate a goal. Their celebrations were short-lived as the roof gave way and they plunged to the concrete below amongst the cheers of the unsympathetic opposition supporters.
