Poor Family

The parents of a Swansea City fan told of their heartache after their son died while watching his team on television.

Scott Bryant, 22, of St Thomas, Swansea, was at home watching the Swans play Manchester United on Saturday when he died suddenly.

He had previously complained of feeling ill.

Scott had been a long-time fan of the Swans and was well known among supporters.

Parents Julie Walters and Stephen "Blachy" Bryant, and his sister Laura Owen, paid tribute to Scott, saying he lived for his football.

"We are just devastated, in pieces, we haven't been able to get over it, we won't ever be able to," they told the South Wales Evening Post .

"Scott lived for his football, it was his life. When he used to go to the Vetch (former ground the Vetch Field), he would go with the guys from the Garibaldi pub.

"He had been ill since Wednesday, we thought he might have had norovirus.

"He was watching the game in his bedroom. He was on his bed and the football was on the TV.

"He was such a lovely kid, he was a wonderful uncle to his nieces and nephews, Tayah May, twins Ruby and Leila and Jay.

"When he left school he boxed at the West Cross Amateur Boxing Club."

Many people have also taken to Facebook to express their shock and sadness at the sudden death.

His mother added on her own Facebook page: "Good nite boy sleep tight don't think mum will ever sleep again can not close my eyes incase [I] dream bout you and wen I wake up you are not here boy love you more than words can say but you knew that nite boy xxxx"

Family friend Stuart Mayes posted on the Facebook page of Mr Bryant: "Can't begin to imagine what you're going through. Thoughts are with you."

Many shocked friends have also paid tribute to Scott on the Facebook page of his sister Laura.

Nicola Jayne Davies posted: "Lau, im soo sorry about Scott im devastated for u all. The best ones are always taken from us too soon. He was such a lovely boy and will never be forgotten! Im in total shock! Im sending all my love and thoughts to you and the family! If theres anything you need don't hesitate to ask. Xxxx lots of love xxxx."

Danni Jodie Stephens wrote: "So sorry to hear about the loss of your brother babe thinking about you on this sad time xxxxxxx."

Friend Zoe Hayden posted: "Sorry lau I was in school with Scott and I tell u what such a lovely boy! Not a bad word was ever said about him he got on with everyone! I really really can't believe it! Xx."

South Wales Police confirmed the death is not being treated as suspicious. A post mortem to establish the cause of death is due to take place.

Gutted for such a loss of a young life and for the family who will sorely miss him.
A young man no different than any of our kids, rivalry aside at times like this, make this a sticky and show our respect and humanity.
Very least this forum could do surly for our neighbours?
Gutted to read things like this
RIP

Rip fellow football fan.

Bless you Scott, and bless your family. There can surely be nothing worse than losing a child, whatever age, they are still your babies. I hope to god I never experience anything like this.

Very,very sad story. Rest in Peace, Scott. A fellow football fan. Condolences to his family and friends.

Such a loss is absolutely devastating to Scott's family and friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Hope in time you will be able to look back and smile at all the good times you shared all together.

Whilst we all support our local teams, events like this only serve to put football into perspective. No age to pass away.

RIP fellow football fan. Such a sad loss to all who knew Scott.

Devastating loss for such a young guy, RIP.

Terrible news.

RIP to the boy, and thoughts to his family and friends.

Awful news. Rest In Peace.

Thats no age to die.

As 64 said to bury your own child is so tragic, they will still be your babies no matter what age.

RIP

Puts everything into perspective.
Condolences to his family and friends.

At the end of the day, we are all Human.
