23/12/2025 - Jake, Jenson, Charlie

Crawley Down Gatwick football club and Oakwood football club are absolutely devastated to learn of the untimely death of one of our former youth and first team players, along with another friend, and a former Youth player in Hospital in a tragic accident on Saturday evening.

Two young men in the prime of their lives whose passing will leave a massive mark on all of our footballing families. Our thoughts and prayers are also with a third former Youth player Charlie who remains in hospital.

We stand together to offer our deepest condolences to the families and friends of the people involved.

We are also here to support any members of our footballing communities who will undoubtedly be deeply touched by this terrible event. Please reach out to us if you feel you need to.

RIP Jake and Jenson.
