A football fan who died during a game has been named as Gillingham man Keith Hore.

Mr Hore passed away during a game at Bromley FC's Hayes Lane stadium on Saturday.

The National League game between the Kent club and Yeovil Town was halted just six minutes after kick-off following what was reported as a "medical incident" in the crowd.

Play briefly resumed, before being stopped once again and both sets of players returned to the dressing room.

Medical staff from both teams had offered the supporter assistance before paramedics arrived shortly afterwards.

Despite the best efforts of everyone involved, the game was abandoned altogether once the home side confirmed that the then-unnamed fan had passed away.

Today, the club paid tribute to Mr Hore, a season ticket holder who also followed his hometown club Gillingham.

A spokesman for the club said: "Everyone at Bromley Football Club would like to extend their heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Keith Hore, who sadly passed away on Saturday afternoon after being taken ill during our fixture against Yeovil Town.

"Having passed on our condolences and spoken with Keith’s next of kin directly, the club can confirm that a minute’s silence will be held prior to kick-off ahead of Saturday’s fixture against Wealdstone, with both sets of players wearing black armbands.

"Furthermore, the club have arranged a book of condolence to be made available in the club shop from Wednesday onwards. An online method for those unable to get to the stadium will also be made available."

Following the tribute on social media, a number of fans from both Bromley and Yeovil Town chimed in with their own tributes to Mr Hore, with one who had been at the game saying: "RIP Keith, condolences to your loved ones.

"As the events unfolded on Saturday, all of us present were hoping for a positive outcome.

"Thoughts are also with all those who tried their best to help."

Another added: "RIP Keith, I did not know you but being a Ravens fan made you one of the family, and we have lost one of our own."
