Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

So very sad, swittle was always on hand with a kind word or comment on photos, I enjoyed reading about his late evening runs along the beach, I never had the good fortune to meet him in person, a great loss to this wonderful community heart

Such a true gentleman. I'm fairly local and will do all I can to attend his funeral.

I just... this is terrible news. I am so sorry.

He was my biggest cheerleader for the last eleven years - and lots of people cheered me on during some really tough times. After every setback or after every triumph he always fmails me.

A beautiful soul, and a true gentleman. I don't have any other words now.

Struggling to put this into words TBH, he's someone that I've chatted to virtually over a range of topics, and always came across as a genuinely lovely bloke. Hope the beach runs continue wherever you are now Switts

Terrible news. It was only a couple of weeks ago when he was posting on the rugby league thread about Wakefield's upcoming fixtures.

Never met him in person but always came across as a lovely man.

If you read about his nightly beach runs you could almost have been running along beside him.

He always encouraged others especially on the How was your run thread.

Hope all your beach run are still as perfect as they were while you were here xx

Funeral 5th April 1.30pm at the Thornton Garden of Rest, Lydiate Ln, Thornton, Liverpool L23 1TP
