Three years on today, "AJ" died in the Royal Liverpool hospital at 6pm on Wednesday 28th November 2007 when his family agreed to let doctors turn off his life support machine. He was found unconscious at 3.50am on Sunday 25th November 2007 with a fractured skull at the junction of Church Street and Paradise Street, outside the McDonald's restaurant. About 20 minutes before he was found, "AJ" went alone to a cash machine.
"AJ" was a popular Evertonian and followed the Blues home and away. He was a founder member of KEIOC. He was a great supporter to Blue Kipper and would always be one of the first to offer his 'Elmhouse Flag' for the presentation nights. A father-of-two and grandfather-of-one, "AJ" was a Liverpool council gravedigger and a popular figure in the local footballing community who helped train promising youngsters. Our deepest sympathy goes our to all his family and friends.
