With the heaviest of hearts and an overwhelming sense of surrealism that Macclesfield FC can confirm the passing of 21-year-old forward Ethan McLeod.

Travelling back from Bedford Town last night, Ethan was involved in a car accident on the M1 which tragically took his life.

Ethan was an incredibly talented and well-respected member of our First Team Squad, who had his whole life ahead of him.

But more than that, Ethan’s infectious personality endeared him to everyone that he came into contact with.

In giving his all in everything he did, Ethan effortlessly pushed us all to be the best we can be - both on and off the pitch.

Ethan’s professionalism and unwavering work ethic inspired everyone, and his lust for life put smiles on all our faces - even on the darkest of days.

News of Ethan’s passing has devastated our entire Club and no words can convey the immense sense of sadness and loss that we feel now.

The deep mental scars elicited from Ethan’s passing will undeniably never heal - but one thing is for sure, and that is Ethan’s vibrant legacy will never fade, no matter how much time passes in the future.

Ethan will live in our hearts and minds forevermore and no matter what the future holds, his unique smile that mesmerised us all will never be forgotten.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to Ethan’s family and friends at this deeply traumatic time, together with an assurance that we will provide as much support as we can to those who need it.

May you rest in peace Ethan - you will forever be a Silkman.

Today we have witnessed a vile attack on our Jewish community on its holiest day.

We condemn whoever is responsible and will do everything within our power to keep people safe.

We stand with GM’s Jewish community at this time and will work through the day to support them. 🙏🏻

I am receiving briefings about what appears to be a horrific shooting and fire at an LDS church in Grand Blanc, Michigan. @FBI and @ATFHQ agents are en route to the scene now.

Such violence at a place of worship is heartbreaking and chilling. Please join me in praying for the victims of this terrible tragedy.

I have ordered the flags of the United States of America and the great state of Utah to be flown at half-staff on all state facilities in recognition of the tragic passing of Charlie Kirk, who was shot and killed this afternoon while speaking at Utah Valley University.

Flags should be lowered to the half-staff position and remain in the half-staff position until sunset on Sunday, September 14th, 2025.

I extend this invitation to all private citizens, businesses, and other organizations.

Challenging for many new MPs voting on #AssistedDying so early in this Parliament. In 2015, strong speeches set out still relevant practical legislative issues + current debate on protecting vulnerable people highlights real concerns. MPs' time better spent on other, key policies
