Pilot’s death leaves club mourning again

FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

THE death of young pilot Adam Gaffney in Broome has left a Tasmanian soccer club mourning the tragic loss of one of its players for the second time this year.

The Hobart Zebras are preparing to don armbands for their weekend match in honour of former player Mr Gaffney, whose body was found in the wreckage of the plane he was flying on Thursday.

As recently as February they were doing the same for one of their star players, Luke Cripps, who was killed while riding in the back of a ute.

Both men were soon to be married. Mr Gaffney, who was 27, had proposed to Janice Mae Andoy-Posadas three weeks ago, and Mr Cripps, 29, had been celebrating his buck’s night on the day he was killed.

Nick Di Giovanni, president of the club formerly known as Juventus, said the news of a second tragedy had been devastating.

“This is probably the worst year I’ve experienced in 40 years in the Juventus soccer club,” he told AAP.

“It’s just tragedy after tragedy this year.

“We’ve lost a couple of supporters as well, life members and regular members.”

Mr Gaffney, who is remembered as a fast, left-footed midfielder, spent the 2003 and 2004 seasons playing in the top grade for the Zebras.

A handful of his former teammates are still at the club and will turn out in their Tasmanian Premier League match on Friday night.

“Everyone loved him,” Mr Gaffney’s cousin and former teammate Frank Mainella said.

The parents of Mr Gaffney, who was an experienced pilot, have flown from Hobart to Broome.

Australian Transport Safety Bureau investigators are on the scene.

The Zebras have been Tasmania’s most successful club since their formation by Italian immigrants in 1956.
