Woman who saw man fall at Wembley in 2021 questions whether lessons were learned
Stephanie Good, 39, said she watched a man fall from the stands during a Euros football match between England and Croatia in 2021. The man, named as Jon, reportedly survived but suffered two broken ankles and femur and a fractured pelvis just before kick-off. Mrs Good said she was shocked to discover another incident had happened at the arena, when a man in his 40s died after falling from a height during the Oasis reunion concert on Saturday. She told the PA news agency: 'When this happened the other day, I thought: 'That's so similar to what happened when we were there and it's four years ago'. 'It makes me wonder, were lessons learned? 'No-one really knows what came out of their investigation into the guy who fell at the football and whether there's anything more they could have done. 'It felt like it wasn't being taken all that seriously.' Describing the 2021 incident, Mrs Good said the man 'fell from the upper tier and landed in the stairwell between rows of seats'. 'Me and my group were at the end of that row, so he landed right next to us,' she said. 'We didn't realise he'd fallen until he landed, we heard this almighty bang, and looked around, and he was rolling down the steps and then landed against the wall at the bottom of the steps.' Mrs Good added: 'I think he was trying to attach a flag on to the front of the stand or something, and he'd somehow managed to fall straight over. 'The thing that really stood out for us was the inadequacy of the emergency response – nobody seemed to know what to do. 'They didn't seem well-trained in terms of how to respond to a really big emergency. 'Their stewards were kind of paralysed a little bit by fear, or they just weren't well-trained and didn't know how to call for paramedics. 'It was us who were sort of shouting at them that they needed to get some paramedics. 'The first person on the scene wasn't a stadium paramedic or St John Ambulance. It was an off-duty firefighter who had seen the guy fall and ran down to just try and offer some help. 'When the paramedics turned up, they put sheets around him to give him medical treatment. And then a bunch of people, who I assume were stadium management, turned up – stereotypical men in suits. 'Initially, there was no-one really helping, so it was left to fans to keep people away from him and try and get some help.' Mrs Good, an NHS manager who lives in east London, said staff moved people to other seats but did not ask for witness statements. She added: 'They didn't seek any input from people who'd seen the incident or the aftermath of it. They didn't seem interested in speaking to anybody about it. 'I was a bit concerned, because I felt that the emergency response was really lacking.' Mrs Good said she then tried to get in touch with the stadium to give feedback, but was unable to do so and did not receive a response to a message on social media. A spokesperson for Wembley Stadium said: 'Wembley Stadium operates to a very high health and safety standard, fully meeting legal requirements for the safety of spectators and staff, and is certified to and compliant with the ISO 45001 standard. 'We work very closely and collaboratively with all relevant event delivery stakeholders – including event owners, local authorities, the Sports Grounds Safety Authority and the police – to deliver events to high standards of safety, security and service for everyone attending or working in the venue.'

BBC Sports Personality of the Year odds: Kelly the new favourite
Chloe Kelly's Euro 2025 heroics have made the footballer the new favourite to be crowned the BBC Sports Personality of the Year for 2025. The Arsenal forward's inspirational performances from the bench helped England through to the final of the summer tournament, in which she scored the winning penalty in a victory against Spain. This resulted in Kelly becoming the leader in the SPOTY betting, moving ahead of the Masters winner and previous favourite Rory McIlroy. Kelly's England team-mate Hannah Hampton is third favourite. Take a look at the odds below and read on for our expert analysis. BBC Sports Personality of the Year odds Odds courtesy of bet365 correct at the time of publication and subject to change.

Let's take a look at the leading contenders to become the next BBC Sports Personality of the Year, along with some fringe candidates whose prices could drop. Chloe Kelly – evens A footballer couldn't really ask for a better year than the one Kelly is enjoying. The Londoner left Manchester City to return home to her first club Arsenal in January, where she ended the season with a victory in the Champions League final against Barcelona. Despite not being a starter in England's Euro 2025 team, her contributions from the bench in the knockout stages were key to the Lionesses' triumph. She sparked the quarter-final comeback against Sweden, scored the winner to eliminate Italy in the semi-final and then created the equaliser against Spain in the final, before converting the decider from the spot in the penalty shootout. Rory McIlroy – 2/1 If Kelly's achievements in 2025 are going to be hard to beat, McIlroy's claim to the SPOTY crown is based on the success he has enjoyed over his entire career. He won the Masters in 2025 to complete a career grand slam of the major championships. Just six golfers in history have achieved this and McIlroy is the only Brit to do it. The feat could be enough to swing the vote in the Northern Irishman's favour and, if he's part of a European Ryder Cup victory on US soil in September, you can expect him to return as favourite. Hannah Hampton – 9/1 Casual fans of women's football might have been surprised to see Hampton in goal for England at Euro 2025 after Mary Earps decided to retire from international football before the finals, but her performances at the tournament justified Sarina Wiegman's decision to pick the Chelsea keeper. She saved two penalties in each of the shootout victories against Sweden in the quarter-finals and Spain in the final. This followed a domestic treble with Chelsea in the 2024-25 season, crowning a brilliant year for a footballer who had to overcome a serious eye condition as a child. Lando Norris – 10/1 Norris is currently battling with his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri to land the 2025 Formula One World Championship. If he can win that contest, then Norris will be a contender to be named Sports Personality of the Year, with F1 drivers such as Stirling Moss, Jackie Stewart, Nigel Mansell, Damon Hill and Lewis Hamilton having all previously been bestowed with this honour. Luke Littler –20/1 Littler is hampered by the fact that darts is not taken as seriously as other sports, otherwise he would be priced much shorter, having finished second in SPOTY last year. The 18-year-old has had a remarkable 2025 in which he has already won the World Championship, UK Open and World Matchplay titles. You wouldn't bet against him eventually winning this award, but no darts player has ever claimed it and he might need a year without such strong candidates. Other contenders When betting on Sports Personality of the Year, you have to look at coming events that may catapult an athlete into contention. Rugby union player Ellie Kildunne is already a relatively short price at 25/1, having been a key part of the England team who won the Six Nations. If the team were to also win the 2025 Rugby World Cup that starts this month, then the odds of the reigning world player of the year should shorten. The US Open tennis takes place in August and September and a British victory could see a tennis star move into single figures. Emma Raducanu won SPOTY in 2021 after her surprise victory at Flushing Meadows and both she and Jack Draper are priced at 66/1. A number of athletes are also hovering around that price point, due to the 2025 Athletics World Championships taking place in September. The likes of Keely Hodgkinson (55/1), Dina Asher-Smith (66/1) and Matthew Hudson-Smith (66/1) all have a chance of being on the shortlist if they land gold in Tokyo.
