A Sheffield Wednesday fan gives an update via Twitter after a video shows him falling between the train and platform last week.
The male was Dave Iggo, and had been on his way to the League One playoff final with the Owls taking on Barnsley, and subsequently won with Josh Windass scoring with the last kick of extra time.
And he made sure he wasn’t going to be missing it, as after the incident, he was helped up, luckily avoided any serious injury and hobbled his way to Wembley.

There was more chaos on the trains on Bank Holiday weekend with a Coventry fan says train chaos led to โvomiting and urinating themselvesโ on the way back from the playoff final at Wembley.
Train passenger Darren Robinson expressed his frustration as rail services became got extremely overwhelmed last Saturday while left shocked at the lack of organisation on the trains.
He adds that train cancellations caused โmayhemโ at London Euston with fans seen leaping over barriers which led to panic from families with kids, the disabled and the elderly.
