By Paul Nyathi|A Highlanders Football Club fan is battling for his life at Mpilo Hospital after falling from terraces at Barbourfields Stadium on Sunday.

Police identified the man as Prince Ncube whose address has not been established.

The police report that Ncube plugged about thirty metres down the terraces while in a drunken stupor from the rails at the top of the terraces.

He was rushed to nearby Mpilo Hospital where he has been in the ICU since Sunday.

Highlanders Fans are known for dangerously dangling on billboards and rails on the terraces while watching their team play.

Though police have ruled out any foul play, Highlanders fans have a history of throwing opposing fans out of the stadium over the terraces.

Police spokesperson Precious Simango appealed for Ncube’s relatives to come forward and provide more details about him.

“We need further details on the man whose name was only picked up from the national identity card he was carrying,” said Simango.

She further urged fans to desist from attending soccer matches while drunk and smuggling alcohol into the stadium.

“Fans must desist from going into the stadium drunk and sitting on undesignated sitting areas,” she added.

Highlanders Football Club is currently running a “Fiil Up BF” campaign which has seen huge crowds watch the team at Barbourfields Stadium.

On Sunday slightly over 12 000 fans were at the 15 000 capacity stadium in a match against lowly Shabanie Mine.
