Mervyn and I (Colin Hill) went to Grammar School together in Cannock and I came to know Tony as we used to visit the youth club near Tony and Merv's house often in those years for some simple fun in those days. He was also a strong supporter of football endeavors and often not only watched the local professional teams but helped out and watched the amateur team Merv and I played on with some other long time friends. It is a shock to hear he passed and even though I have not seen him for the nearly 35 years I have lived in the USA those early teenage years and college years when I saw Tony often are still well remembered. He will be missed by all who met and became friends with him. Our sincerest thoughts and prayers for Tony and condolences for Mervyn and his family. Colin and Donna Hill
