Unitedite Ryan Brotherton posted on Facebook: “Most people may not be aware but on Wednesday morning a lifelong Sheffield United fan was stabbed to death at work. I hope everyone will join in the 60th minute for a round of applause. I would really appreciate it.” Mr. Woodcock was a warehouse manager at FedEx Courier Services. Sarah Roberts wrote online: “Such a tragic day at work… the absolute tragic loss of a fantastic man who literally had time for everyone. The place will simply never be the same again. “My thoughts are with Phil’s family at this time. No one should leave the house for work in the morning and not come back, it’s just heartbreaking.” Sheffield United fans are hoping to arrange a tribute to ‘lifelong Blades fan’ Philip David Woodcock who was tragically stabbed to death at work in Rotherham earlier this week.
