Fantastic gentleman, privileged to have know you, loved his hair neat and tidy and a crack, will miss seeing you. Jennifer

Bye grandad. I have been blessed to have so many heroes in my life and you were certainly one of them. I will never forget all the stories from your glory days as a footballer and cricketer. I used to love our weekly visits to play cards which somehow I always won even though I've never won a game of cards in my life since. All the support you have given us all over the years will never be forgotten. You had a great life which inspired me on my own journey in sport, thank you. Love Paul & Anna.

Farewell to my lifelong friend. I have many happy memories of growing up together from childhood. We started school at Upperby and later played football and cricket together. We were ‘best man’ for each other. He was good and loyal friend and will be sadly missed. Rest in Peace Eric. George Simpson
