Parachutist who interrupted football match got lost in the clouds

A non-league football match in Salisbury was disrupted on Saturday when a parachutist landed on the pitch.



The game between Salisbury City and Chester at the Raymond McEnhill Stadium was stopped shortly before the final whistle when the skydiver landed.



The parachutist, Jakub Langowski, a veteran of 1,300 jumps, who had been taking part in a charity skydive made the emergency landing due to low cloud.

Chester player Danny Higginbotham said it was the "most bizarre" thing he had ever seen on a football pitch.
