Re: Sad news, hearing another fan has passed.

Very sad - a sound lad and big Claret.

Bumped into him from a young age with another Padiham lad who went to many games up and down the country. Even with the MS taking its toll he would still make it into the Cricketfield to get behind the team. Always had a good chat.

RIP Monksy
