Sad tragic news from Scottish football as long-serving Motherwell player and skipper Phil O'Donnell collapsed on the field of play last night against Dundee United and passed away later in hospital, reportedly from a seizure. He was 35.
A player described as a 'perfect gentleman' and 'role model' by former Scotland manager Craig Brown and other fellow professionals, O'Donnell was a player that others like Steven Gerrard played like - full of heart and gave everything for each team he played for.
Motherwell's next game on Jan 2 has been postponed and all Scottish games in the next round will observe a minute's silence as a mark of respect and mourning for Phil O'Donnell.
