I am sorry to bring tragic news, but my old friend Eric passed away yesterday. Most Wrexham fans over 25 years of age will have known Eric or dealt with him as he must have worked at WAFC for over 50/60 years. He processed the gate money and also organised the programme sales.
I encountered him when working at BSC Shotton in the late 70's. He was a real character, selling his Pontoon and Gold Bond tickets plus the pools and spot the ball etc. He became one of my late dads best friends.
I remember going on his trip to Burnley in 74, and seeing his Tecwyn Price coach driving around Brussels on route to the Anderlecht stadium in 76. Erics soon Nigel still works on the Turnstiles today.
The funeral is next Friday 2nd August at Pentrebychan Crem at 10.30am.
