Here goes, I’ve started.... No, I’m too emotional to type. The trouble is I know first hand what that blumming drill meant to Ray..

Ok, I’ve had a minute.

My fondest memory is the time Ray brought most of Wigan to a standstill.

It was June, and BBQ’s were smoking away amongst the haze of summer. A calm silence filled the air of Wigan.

Like an Alpha Cockerel at dawn, Ray rose and prowled down the garden to his shed. As he returned from his shed, you could feel something was about to happen.

Ray moved like a Panther, grappling with something big, all around were terrified. Ray had a look in his eyes, and meant business.

He gathered pace, and darted around, waving his thing about, and shouted loudly to his neighbours “SAY HELLO TO MY LIDL FWEND”.

I hope my recollection helps us to remember the good times, and not focus on the loss.

RIP LIDL SDS
