SYDNEY, May 18 (Reuters) - Australian football supremo Frank Lowy was a bit sore but suffered no major injuries after his dramatic fall from the podium at the end of Sunday's A-League final, officials confirmed on Monday.
In what was possibly the most dramatic moment of the afternoon at Melbourne's Rectangular Stadium, the 84-year-old tumbled several feet off the stage just before he was about to present the A-League trophy to Melbourne Victory's captain.
The raucous crowd of 30,000 fell into a stunned silence as the Czechoslovakia-born billionaire lay motionless on the pitch before being helped to his feet and resuming the presentation.
