Two of Adam’s friends tell BBC Newsbeat they previously felt safe while playing football, but Adam’s death has changed things.<\/p>\n
“In the weeks and months after, I got two or three cardiac tests, I was pretty scared,” says George Callie, who grew up playing football with Adam. <\/p>\n
“I was playing football four or five times a week. <\/p>\n
“This can happen to anyone and I was OK. But it does affect you.”<\/p>\n
The 19-year-old from Risborough says he supports the coroner’s recommendation.<\/p>\n
“I think it’s really important that you learn how to deal with that if you’re going to be on the side of a football pitch,” he says.<\/p>\n
“I think there’s got to be some sort of rule where between the referees, the two linesmen and the two coaches, there’s five of you, I think if two or three of you are able to carry out the procedures then that’s more than enough people to save a life, and it shouldn’t always be on the referee.”<\/p>\n
Tom Gough, who was a close friend and teammate of Adam, agrees he “wouldn’t feel so safe” stepping on to a pitch now “because of the circumstance that happened with Adam”.<\/p>\n
“I think there’s always going to be a bit of me that’s worried that something like this might happen again.” <\/p>\n
The 19-year-old from Wycombe, who spoke at Adam’s funeral, says his death took a “big toll” on his mental health but it would “mean the world” if it led to change. <\/p>\n
“If Adam’s death is the reason one or two or how many kids’ lives could be saved on the pitch, I think that is a great thing,” he says.<\/p>\n
“Trying to take the positives out of a negative situation.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
