The PFA is deeply saddened by the passing of Yeovil Town captain, Lee Collins, aged 32.

The thoughts of everyone at the PFA are with Lee’s family, friends and colleagues, and we offer our deepest condolences. Our wellbeing team will be visiting Yeovil Town to offer support to players and club staff during this difficult time.
