RIP Luke❤️
A Northampton amateur footballer described as "happy go lucky" has died after a sudden "bacterial infection". Luke Abrahams, from East Hunsbury, passed away on Monday despite having his leg amputated in an effort to save him.
"Luke had to have his leg amputated and the next hour was crucial and he asked if 'everybody could pray' he got through it. We were just hoping he would pull through and about an hour and 15 minutes later, Richard messaged saying he hadn't made it. It was reportedly a "bacterial infection" which led to doctors needing to amputate the leg and giving him a "real slim chance of survival" according to Jamie. Pals of Luke, who was a big West Ham fan, are now trying to organise a tribute with the club ahead of their next home game.
"I know charity games are being set up as we speak as he's played for a few teams. His parents would really like to highlight what happened and how quick it was. "It was heart-wrenching when he said to me before Luke went down to theatre, he said 'don't worry about me, look after yourselves' and that hit me pretty hard."
"He gave up his time on Sunday afternoon and midweek on a Wednesday to help us coach his brother. He was a really fun-loving, outgoing and caring kind of guy.
