A wealthy businessman was missing today after a helicopter taking him and several friends home from Chelsea's match against Liverpool in the Champions League last night disappeared.
A spokeswoman for Carter and Carter Group, a fast-expanding training and learning company which listed on the stock market in 2005, said the company founder, Phillip Carter, was in the helicopter along with the pilot and two or three other passengers.
"At this moment we are praying and hoping for the best," Faye Adkin said.
"Phillip Carter was returning from the Liverpool match. We have not had any reported sightings at the moment," she added.
"We do not know where he and his passengers are. There have been reports that the helicopter has come down but we cannot confirm anything."
The private helicopter took off from John Lennon airport, in Liverpool, at around 11pm. It was on its way to a home in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, when it vanished, Cambridgeshire police said.
Chelsea played Liverpool at Anfield in a Champions League semi-final second leg last night, losing the tie on penalties.
Initial reports suggested Chelsea officials might have been on board the helicopter, but the club said all its staff had been accounted for.
"We are investigating possible links to the Liverpool v Chelsea football match but have not established anything so far," a police spokeswoman said.
"Details are sketchy at the moment. The helicopter, we believe, had about four or five people on board and was a twin-engine Squirrel. It left John Lennon Airport in Liverpool at about 11pm last night and was on its way to a private address near Peterborough.
"It appears to have disappeared off the radar. At the moment we are trying to find out more. The best case scenario is that it has made an emergency landing somewhere."
Carter and Carter listed publicly in February 2005 and tripled in value in a year to a value of more than £200m, being named the Financial Times's new company of the year in 2006.
Mr Carter founded the company in 1992, having earlier worked in sales and marketing for ICI before becoming the company's European business development manager for paints.
The incident stirs memories of the October 1996 crash that killed Chelsea's then-vice-chairman, Matthew Harding, and four other men as they returned from a match at Bolton Wanderers in Lancashire.
The Twin Squirrel helicopter plummeted to earth in farmland near Middlewich, Cheshire, and burst into flames.
Multimillionaire Mr Harding, 42, pilot Michael Goss, 38, businessmen Raymond Deane, 43, and Tony Burridge, 39, from Wimbledon, and magazine journalist John Bauldie, 47, from Richmond, south London, were all killed instantly in the crash.
An inquest jury returned verdicts of accidental death after hearing that the pilot might have become disorientated flying at night with no autopilot, while trying to map-read and talk to air traffic control.
