The wall that non-league footballer Billy Vigar struck, resulting in his tragic death, has been demolished.

The 21-year-old, who played for Isthmian Premier League side Chichester City and was formerly of Arsenal’s academy, died in hospital days after suffering severe head injuries when he collided with a pitchside wall at Wingate and Finchley last month.
