Dad was only in here since the end of January and prior to that had been living in a care and sheltered accommodation complex for three years in Maghull.“He had been growing increasingly frail and suffering from a variety of ailments over the last three months especially. We are obviously all devastated.”2

He left just after I came, when I came down in 1977… he was an integral part of the dressing room and looked after me, helping me settle in.“He was a great advert for Liverpool Football Club, the way he conducted himself. His memories will be there forever.”
