Default RIP Colin Purton

Following a much publicised police and search and rescue search, it has been confirmed that long time Wrexham fan and Castell Alun Cricket Club president Colin Purton has sadly passed away.

He favoured watching from the corner of the kop when it was open, presumably to mirror his favoured fielding position of backward point.

Unlike most on here he was quiet and kept many opinions to himself. A simple shake of the head was his usual method of showing disgust of a home defeat or a dropped catch. I amongst many had the pleasure of sharing both passions wth him.

Colin’s funeral will be at Hope church on Friday the 5th of July at 1 p.m followed by the crematorium at 2-30. Hopefully many fellow Wrexham fans and ex team mates will join us to pass our respects.

I know many of you who knew Colin are spread far and wide but hopefully this message will get to you. PM me if you need any more details.

If you can’t make it please make a small donation to NEWSAR who took part in the search for Colin.

Thanks

Phil
