England footballer Harry Maguire on Wednesday revealed that his father suffered two suspected broken ribs after being caught up in the fan disturbances at the Euro 2020 final at London’s Wembley. He also said that his father struggled to breathe.

Alan Maguire, 56, and the Manchester United player’s agent Kenneth Shepherd were trampled by unruly ticketless fans before the match between England and Italy on Sunday.

“It was not a nice experience — it shook him up. It was scary. I don’t want anyone to experience that at a football match,” The Sun, quoted Maguire as saying.

As per reports, Alan did not seek any medical treatment despite injuries as the unruly crowd overwhelmed security staff as they tried to enter the stadium and occupy the seats of the paying spectators. The unruly fans in question were ticketless.

“My dad’s a big fan — he got on with it. He was struggling with his breathing because of his ribs, but he’s not one to make a big fuss,” the 28-year-old footballer said.

“He was fortunate as every game he has been to he has had my nephew or one of my kids on his shoulders,” he added.

After the violence at Wembley, European football’s governing body UEFA on Tuesday charged England’s Football Association. UEFA will also appoint an “ethics and disciplinary inspector” to investigate the pre-match disorder.

The infractions included fans booing Italy’s national anthem, the lighting of a firework, a mid-game pitch invasion and supporters throwing objects.

London’s police force said it made 86 arrests and that 19 of its officers were injured in connection with managing the Euro 2020 final.

The committee that will be set up will also look into the racist abuse hurled at England players who missed penalties. They were Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford and Bukayo Saka.

A petition to permanently ban racists from football matches, created in response to the abuse, has gotten more than one million signatures in just two days.

Maguire condemned the behaviour of unruly fans at the match, calling it “totally wrong” and said his father would still go to games but would now be more aware.

“Things could have been a lot worse but we have to make sure it does not happen again,” he added.

In the final of the Euro 2020, Italy won the match 3-2 on penalties after playing out a 1-1 draw after extra time to claim their first European Championships in 53 years.
