An Indian footballer has lost his life after suffering from a celebration injury. Peter Biaksangzuala, aged 23, was taken to hospital last Tuesday after he damaged his spinal chord while celebrating an equalizer scored in the 62nd minute. The defensive midfielder spent five days at hospital where he underwent a spine surgery. Bethlehem Vengthlang's number 21 lost his life despite attempts made for his survival on Sunday, the 20th of October 2014. His coach described him as "well-mannered", someone who maintained his discipline on and off the pitch. A charity match is being planned in the player's memory. His club has retired the number 21 which was worn by the deceased footballer prior to his death.
