A word & further salute from….
Alex Mayo-Williams, now Registered Manager for Oaklea South Lakes – but began her Oaklea life supporting Terry struggled to wipe the tears….
“Well, as I sit in the car taking Terry to Barrow, I have memories coming back of times we spent together, after supporting him for 16 years. It is a bittersweet day, Terry is such a character, funny, caring, and gentle! We will miss him dearly! Terry, we salute you Sheriff.”
Own goal – Liverpool FC – no thanks Des!
Terry’s departure nearly went to Extra Time. Long time friend, housemate and lover of all things red, Des, tries a last minute attempt to persuade Terry to support Liverpool FC! Some things are best left behind!
