[Getty Images] The family of former Arsenal academy graduate Billy Vigar will attend the Gunners' Premier League match against Everton at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday. Vigar died at the age of 21 when he suffered a "significant brain injury" in September, when it is thought he collided with a wall while playing for Chichester City at Wingate and Finchley. The Football Association announced a review of perimeter walls at football grounds in the National League system after his death.

Vigar was a graduate of the Arsenal academy, leaving the club in 2024, and also had spells at Derby County, Eastbourne Borough and Hastings United. Vigar's family will be in attendance of the match as guests of Arsenal academy manager Per Mertesacker.
