Arsenal sent their best wishes to former striker Billy Vigar, put in a seductive coma. He suffered a head injury during his recent match against Chichester City.<\/p>\n
The 21-year-old was part of the Gunners’ Under-21 side until last year, moving to Hastings United on a free transfer. Vigar moved to Chichester this summer, where he played against Wingate & Finchley last weekend. He maintained a horrible head collision after hitting a concrete wall, trying not to stop the ball from playing.<\/p>\n
Play stopped immediately and an ambulance that quickly arrived in the scene was called.<\/p>\n

Arsenal is coming out now and I really hope for a former player. They said on social media: “I wish you a quick recovery. Billy. Everyone at Arsenal will send love and support to Billy and his loved ones during this difficult time.”<\/p>\n
Two days after his serious injury, his club went to social media to provide updates on his condition.<\/p>\n
They wrote:<\/p>\n
“It’s too early to say what the outcome will be, and even if things go well, there’s a long way to go to recover first. Love from the whole CCFC Family Billy.”<\/p>\n
Vigar never played in Arsenal as a senior, but he was a regular player under 18 and in the Premier League 2 side. In the 2021-22 U18S Premier League campaign, he came up with four goals and two assists for the club’s youth side. He joined Arsenal in 2017 at the age of 14 and signed his first professional contract with Emirates in July 2022.<\/p>\n

Vigar only played one season in the North Londoners Premier League 2, and only played one season in four appearances. He was later loaned to Derby County U21, where he made nine appearances.<\/p>\n
A lot of hope, especially from his fellow non-league outfits, poured into Chichester. Clay Valley FC wrote: “His greatest wish for Billy, our thoughts are.”<\/p>\n
Dulwich Hamlet FC also took him to his social media page and said, “Everyone’s thoughts on Champion Hill are with Billy, his family, his friends and everyone in Chichester City.”<\/p>\n
Brentwood Town FC also said, “Our idea is with Billy and his family during this difficult and sensitive period. We all want his strength and full recovery from all of us at Brentwood Town FC.”<\/p>\n
