It is with great sadness that Chichester City Football Club has to confirm the passing of Billy Vigar. Below is a statement from his family.
We request that his family's privacy is respected at this most difficult time. 🤍🖤
You get 18 summers. Then they're visiting.
You get 940 weekends. Then they have their own.
You get 6,570 bedtimes. Then silence.
Time is the only real currency of parenthood. Spend it wisely.
You can't earn more.
Last night at Anfield will stay with me forever - not because of one person's words, but because of how the entire football family stood together.
To my @afcbournemouth teammates who supported me in that moment, to the @LiverpoolFC players and fans who showed their true character, to the @premierleague officials who handled it professionally - thank you. Football showed its best side when it mattered most.
Scoring those two goals felt like speaking the only language that truly matters on the pitch. This is why I play - for moments like these, for my teammates, for everyone who believes in what this beautiful game can be.
The overwhelming messages of support from across the football world remind me why I love this sport. We keep moving forward, together. 🙏🏾⚽

1 car crash and 2 of the most difficult but greatest months of my life.
I’m an emotional mess tonight but I just want to say, no matter how dark a place you are in. It can and WILL get better. 2 years ago I was in the darkest place in my life, 2 years later we have made history.
Thank you to everyone who believed in me. I love you all very much. I’ll do a post when I’m able to process what’s just happened. MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS ❤️
If you watch anything on social media today, make sure it's this video from West Ham.
It raises awareness about suicide bereavement and hits hard. ❤️⚒
Such a powerful short film. 👏
“They came through and said, ‘he’ll never walk again’.”
This is the incredible story of how @GeorgeDowell found his purpose with @WorthingFC ❤️
🎥 The Club That George Built will premiere 1st October at 10.30pm on @tntsports & @discoveryplusUK 📺
MARATHON COMPLETED 🫡
Today I completed something that 5 months ago I would never of thought possible. 42.2km (26.2 miles), my first ever marathon completed and have raised £23,800 pounds for mind charity. Did I cry, yeah about 40 times but to run with over 100 people with many inspirations today was incredibly surreal and helped massively to overcome the challenge.
Thank you to everyone who came down today and helped spread awareness for mental health and to @hardestgeezer for changing my life!!! MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS
