It always is I guess.
I am surprised he lived after his accident in 90 when hit in the head by a piece of wood whilst driving. But he survived and lived another 27 years.

And latterly lived in Yeadon IIRC.

Wonder if he was at H Town to see them go third on Saturday? I used to be a season ticket holder there many years ago, and one friend still is.

The reports had said he was in a home or whatever wording they actually used. At 75 that seems a bit young so you do wonder if the 1990 accident played a role. He need need surgery back then.

he almost died back then IIRC...
|
I hadn't realised he was in a home.
|
I used to love Allo Allo.
RIP

That is my recollection. He needed some treatment for severe head trauma. Did he ever recover? Which is why I am surprised he got to 75... maybe in a home.
Tragic for anyone to go through what he did. He was in his late 40s when he got this serious head trauma - 47 or 48.

Didn't a tree fall on his Civic as he was driving home from work during the great hurricane?
