There was a great turnout at Accrington Cemetery today, to say farewell to our old friend Tom Ritchie. There were plenty of old faces and City colours in attendance. The Crematorium was full and Tom's wife Lesley gave an exceptional speech. The music featured some of Tom's favourites and the floral tributes were lovely. It was an excellent way to remember one of Citys most loyal supporters over the last 50 years who will be much missed by so many people.
Thank you to Ric and Phil, the admins of this site, who helped publicise the details for today. To Ruben Dias for his video message and the guys who organised it. To the club for what they have done in recognising Tom. Also to Rodney Marsh for his help in publicising todays funeral.
As Tom would often say........"Never get out of the Boat"...........RIP Tom
