Bob Blakeborough - RIP

[ClaretTony]

Sad news, former director Bob Blakeborough has passed away at 75. Played an instrumental part in bypassing Frank Teasdale and getting Barry Kilby into the club. Nice man, my thoughts are with his family and friends.

Sad news indeed. Known Bob from way back when he first became a director and used to frequent the Old Bridge Inn in Barrowford. R.I.P. Bob.

He was one of the directors when I worked at the turf mid 90s. One of the nicer more approachable guys. Sad to read of his passing. RIP Bob

Pa Beamish had a lot of interactions with Bob with the Burnley Independent Pool League, back in the day. He said Blakeborough was a sound bloke.

RIP Bob, he was a good friend of mine during the early 90s when he lived in Roughlee.
We had many a night drinking, talking and playing Spoof.
My thoughts go to his family. Sorry for your loss, he was a great bloke

Met him a few times with my dad, always great with us.

Sad news

RIP Bob
