Harvey Willgoose’s mum is among Sheffield United fans calling for a three-minute clap for two teenagers who were tragically found dead alongside one another this week.
Ethan Slater, 17, and Cherish Bean, 15, were found dead inside a rental property at Little Eden Holiday Park in Bridlington on Wednesday, February 18. Two men have been arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter as Humberside Police suspect the Sheffield couple died from carbon monoxide poisoning.
Sheffield United fans are now being urged to clap from minute 15 to minute 17 of the Blades’ derby match against Sheffield Wednesday on Sunday. The derby kicks off at 12pm at Bramall Lane.
Posting in a Facebook group for Sheffield United supporters, Lockie Kai Turner said: “As all of you are probably aware of the tragic news, can we all come together as a community at the Steel City derby for a massive clas from 15th to 17th minute for Cherish Bean and Ethan Slater?”
The post has been shared by Caroline Willgoose, the mother of murdered teen Harvey Willgoose. Harvey was a Sheffield United fan, and the family were supported by the club and fans during their ordeal.

Cherish’s mum has said she “will never recover” and urged people to hug their children as the families deal with their heartbreak.
Since Cherish and Ethan were found, a fundraiser for the families has been launched. It is approaching £20,000, with nearly £18,000 donated in a single day.
