Son leads touching tribute to father

Warrington Town

Evo-Stik Northern Premier League Warrington Town’s players joined a minute’s applause at the HG Driver Recruit Stadium on Saturday for supporter Richard Parkins who lost his battle against cancer over Christmas.

The 37-year-old season ticket holder was a regular face at the HG Driver Recruitment Stadium along with his son Thomas, 7, who had his own season ticket to follow the First Division North's Wire.

He’s pictured with the team on the pitch before kick off after leading them out for the 4-0 win over Wakefield which was also attended by many of the friends and family of the club's late supporter.
