Before passing Graham did a lot for football for the children of Winklebury and the tribute was very well deserved.

As previously reported residents from the Winklebury Community came together during the day to remember those they have lost.

The adult teams were made of family and friends of the legends who have died. All the players who were from Winklebury played with their loved one’s names on their shirts.
