Football teams pay tribute to drowning tragedy teacher
Nottinghamshire Football teams held a one minute’s silence in memory of a teacher who died when he was swept out to sea on holiday.
Ethan McKen, 24, was travelling with friends and was at the Sunny Beach resort on the Black Sea, last Saturday when it is believed he was hit by a wave and was unable to return to shore.
A silence was held at all matches in the Notts Senior League and across the Central Midlands league.
