RIP to a lifelong Claret
Andrew Helme known to most as the Captain, died peacefully on Monday in hospice Blackpool.
His prostrate cancer had spread and his decline was quick .
Captain has been a lifelong Claret and my great friend .
At peace now RIP Captain.

Re: Jimmy Mullen
As a club we were in the football wilderness, Jimmy brought us back and made us believe.
I will never forget the Derby game ,my best ever away game ,talking to County fans after the game , they kept saying we did win didn't we ! . Would love him to come back and get the plaudits he deserves.
