Crikey... I think this has happened before. One team was wearing one type of boots, and that is why only they were killed. More likely than witchcraft anyway!
as i guess from the video the lightning hit the ground and then was conducted through the victimes feet. so having different boots from the other team, ones in which conduct the current more, seems like you say McBobbin the best explanation for this.
odd to have resurfaced on the independant website as one of the main views today. when it was back in 98. which i hadent relised till you mentioned it. still, quite intresting and tragic.
Pretty sure he was a tallish inside forward, fair/red headed and graceful on the ball. Seem to remember it reported he was sheltering under a tree during a storm.
Looking at that video, I didn't realise that the normal treatment for someone who had been electrocuted was to stretch his hamstring or rub a bag of ice on his head!
