Crystal Palace fan dies from severe brain injuries after being hit by a bus while celebrating the team's win over Leicester... as his girlfriend reveals she is set to run the London Marathon in his memory

A Crystal Palace fan has tragically died after being hit by a bus while celebrating his team's 2-1 win over Leicester City earlier this month.

Liam Foley was with his brother Niall in Brixton, south London when the incident occurred on April 1 shortly after Roy Hodgson's side had picked up a valuable three points at Selhurst Park.

Foley was taken to hospital and placed on life support for four days before he was pronounced dead due to severe brain injuries.

His girlfriend Josephine Griffiths has now revealed she will be running the London Marathon for the Brain and Spine Foundation on Sunday.
