A-League Grand Final - Melbourne v Sydney

A SCARE was sent around the stadium during the A-League Grand Final as billionaire FFA chairman Frank Lowy tumbled off the stage.

As the 84-year-old was called upon to present the trophy to triumphant Melbourne Victory captain Mark Milligan, Lowy lost his footing and fell backwards off the stage.

The moment stunned the capacity crowd at Melbourne’s AAMI Park.

Medics rushed to help Lowy off the turf.

He eventually was able to get to his feet and return to the stage to present the trophy, bringing a huge roar from the crowd.

Lowy later left the field unassisted.

“Thank goodness for that. Mr Frank Lowy is up and smiling and he’s a tough human being, as we know,” said Fox Sports’ Adam Peacock during the broadcast.

In a statement, FFA confirmed Lowy had escaped serious injury.

“Mr Lowy received treatment from paramedics on the scene and was cleared of serious injury,’’ the statement read.

“He has soreness in his shoulder from the fall, but is otherwise OK.’’

The fall sent a silence around the ground.

Fortunately, Lowy was OK.

Victory claimed an historic third A-League championship with a deserved 3-0 win over Sydney FC.

A scintillating first-half Besart Berisha half-volley was followed by late goals to Kosta Barbarouses and Leigh Broxham in the final ten minutes to give Victory an empathic scoreline.
