17-Year-old Murder Victim Taken To Match In Coffin By ​Cucuta Ultras
Posted Monday, April 08, 2019 by thesportbible.com
Football culture can be a bit weird sometimes and often we have South American football fans to thank for producing some of the most bonkers antics.
Take these Cucuta Deportivo 'Ultras', who decided that you should still go the game even though you're not actually alive and well.
As brought to our attention by John Milton on Twitter, a portion of the Colombia outfit's most passionate supporters carried the coffin of late 17 year old fan Christopher Jácome to the game against Envigado at the General Santander stadium.
The lad was killed whilst playing football a day before but his friends wanted him to 'watch' the match with them and took him from his home - getting permission from his family to do so.
Last week we saw the Racing fan taking his granddad’s skull to the celebrations around Buenos Aires.

Today, we’re off to Cúcuta in Columbia where 17 year old Christopher Jácome, murdered the previous day, was taken from his home and to the match. In his coffin. pic.twitter.com/8DiAIezmDJ
Apparently his team were losing, but as soon as his coffin entered the stands his team equalised. Game ended 1-1.

The report says his ultras group entered his home and ‘received permission’ from his family to take him. Can’t help but wonder how willing his poor old ma was...
Meanwhile, over in Argentina, a Racing Club fan celebrated their 18th Primera Division last week by bringing the skull of his deceased grandfather to the title party and it was really, really weird.
