Knew him for many years along with the OP' s son and all his mates, lovely lads and this tragedy will have a lasting effect on them all for a long time, sincere condolences to his family who must be going through hell at this sad time, RIP Richie lad you will be missed.
Utterly tragic spoke to him with a few of the old boys in the bookies on hylton rd many a time. Clearly loved his football and very knowledgeable with it too.
RIP and sincere condolences. Please know there is a lot of love warmth and genuine heartfelt messages from us on here. Even those who don’t write anything I would guess.
The C**T who caused this has been sentenced today, 6 years 4 months, another pathetic sentence given out by a judge who's hands were tied, he pretended he couldn't remember anything, 121 MPH whilst pissed and stoned and a cocktail of drugs, even at the sentencing today he was trying to put in characture reffrences trying to get his sentence reduced, horrible horrible bastard.
