Parents of late footballer Billy Vigar have accused the Football Association of failing to prevent their son's death, telling BBC Sport that the governing body could have done more to avert the tragedy.
In a statement to the broadcaster, the family said the FA's actions — or lack of them — were a contributing factor in what happened. They have made their concerns public and are seeking answers about the circumstances surrounding his death.
It was not immediately clear whether the Football Association had responded to the family's allegations. The FA has previously said it takes matters of safety and oversight seriously, but no specific comment on this case had been published at the time of reporting.
The criticism adds to broader discussions about responsibility, player welfare and governance within the sport. Cases like this often prompt calls for independent reviews and for governing bodies to clarify policies and procedures intended to protect players and the wider community.
News organisations will seek further comment from the family and the Football Association and will report additional developments as they emerge.
