Australian FA Chairman falls off stage during trophy presentation

JOE

What is it with people falling off stages recently?

On Thursday, The Edge slipped over the edge on the first night of U2’s world tour in Vancouver, and now Australian FA chairman Frank Lowy has taken a tumble during the A-League grand final trophy ceremony.

The 84-year-old was presenting Melbourne Victory with their prize on Saturday when he fell head-first on to the pitch, to the shock of the 29,000-strong crowd.

Thankfully Lowy was able to return to his feet to finish the presentation, with the Guardian reporting that he left the pitch unaided.

They’re made of strong stuff down under.
