Philo, 21, was held in high-esteem by all those at the Causeway Stadium, and his tragic and sudden death will be a great loss to all those associated with the club.

The player was rushed to a nearby hospital, and would, sadly, die from his injuries.
The news of the player’s death – who’d spent six-years with the club after signing as a 15-year old following spells with West Ham and Crystal Palace – did not reach the Wycombe squad until after the match."It is absolutely devastating, he was a fantastic kid and at 21 was at the start of his career, he lived for football and always had a smile on his face," said the distressed John Gorman, manager of Wycombe.
Naturally, NCM – on behalf of site staff and visitors alike – would like to offer our condolences to the family of the player.
