Dean Sullivan, better known as Jimmy Corkhill from Brookside, has also died in his 60s today.
He was seeing a woman from Darwen back in the day, he could often be found in the pubs up Bolton Road. RIP
Sadly I can't make it down to attend the game personally, but its lovely to think that I can and have enabled a few kids to go. Hopefully some of them will be hooked!
Superb initiative and I really, really hope that this serves as a salutary lesson to Steve and Mike going forward.
