Fan obituary.

R.I.P. Phil O'Donnell (March 25, 1972 - December 29, 2007).

If there was ever a name associated with 'injury prone', it was Phil O'Donnell of Motherwell, Celtic, Sheffield Wednesday and latterly Motherwell, a fellow Celtic fan who 'lived the dream'. He tragically passed away this evening after having a seizure on the pitch towards the end of Motherwell's home encounter against Dundee United.

I recall sitting in Firhill stadium all those years ago, O'Donnell on the back of my Celtic jersey, when you scored that screamer on your debut against Partick Thistle, and it seems like a lifetime away now. God bless you Phil, you were a hero to a young boy.

You'll Never Walk Alone.
