A very touching piece of writing, which reminded me of being by my dad‘s bedside in a similar way. Dad was a lifelong County fan and could never grasp why their results weren’t in his paper in the usual place after they dropped out of the league. We still always had the ‘ how are County getting on’ conversation, though. Sadly he died before promotion back into division two. He has a memorial brick at the back of the Cheadle End stand.
Although dad was no football fan he too passed in similar circumstances. Very sad and extremely hard on the rest of the family. I too remember attending Friday night matches at EP and Saturday was always United. I have a season ticket now in The Cheadle End.
My own dad was also a United fan but he died suddenly after a match in 2004 so in a way compared to this lad I suppose I was lucky . He was ok my dad always took me to County on Friday nights in the Johnny Price days. I suppose that is why I enjoy matches at Stockport these days but no way would I attend matches in United shirt with or without bloody Rashford on the back!
