Minute’s silence at Capital One matches for Shoreham air crash victims
“At this time we are continuing to search… the area to ensure that we have identified all the casualties”.
“We ask the media to respect the privacy of his family”.
“He played as goalkeeper for Worthing United and before that at Mile Oak and Saltdean”.
Team-mate Dean Gilmour wrote: “RIP Jacob Schilt and Matthew Grimstone”. However, dozens of their friends have taken to Facebook and Twitter to express their grief.
He said: “I looked on my iPhone and saw a picture of the carnage and could pick out the auto that was meant to be here”.
“Matt has been taken from us at just 23 and we still think he is going to walk through the front door any minute now”.
“Jacob was a generous, kind, loyal and exceptional young man. He loved his family and friends and he loved living life to the full”.
Grace Delaney said: “Matt was a lovely lad who will be missed by so many”.
“Albion manager Chris Hughton said: “We are all shocked and deeply saddened by this news”. Prime Minister David Cameron has sent his condolences to the families of those who died in the crash.
“Jacob, who alongside Matt was part of Worthing United’s Sussex County League Division Two championship-winning side last season, also played for an Albion supporters’ team in this year’s Robert Eaton Memorial Fund match against Crystal Palace at Lewes in April”. Tributes have been paid to him on Brighton fans’ website North Stand Chat this morning.
Schilt was one of at least 11 people who were killed when a Hawker Hunter aircraft crashed in to the A27 main road after failing to pull out of a loop-the-loop stunt during the Shoreham Airshow.
Chichester City tweeted: “Our thoughts and prayers go out to all involved in the air show accident including two players for @WorthingUtdFC from all at @chicityfc”.
A minute’s silence is to be held at stadiummk before tomorrow night’s Capital One Cup tie between MK Dons and Cardiff City in memory of the Shoreham air disaster victims.
Police said the death toll in the Shoreham Air Show disaster in the UK is “highly likely” to rise to 11.
Paying his respects to Matt Jones, 26, from Littlehampton he added: “Also thoughts to Matt Jones family and friends as he also sadly lost his life too. Football becomes irrelevant”.
The Hawker Hunter fighter jet, which was participating in the Shoreham Airshow near Brighton in southern England, hit several vehicles on the road.
Police said more bodies could be found when a crane is used to move the plane wreckage today. You can then receive our daily newsletter AND add your point of view to stories that you read here.
