I was at Lodge Moor and yes, I knew Phil. A close friend, Colin, went to play for Southport when Phil was there, oh, and Mark too. Iā€™ll PM you to include surnames.
I also went to the winter sports training in Birmingham one time and to Holland with them.
I knew quite a few table tennis players from Lodge Moor too.

Hi Susan

I lost my partner of 15 years on 29th November he was diagnosed on 14/2/22 with oesophageal cancer he was 52 he had radiotherapy & chemotherapy feeding tube through nose 2 stents put in we went for his results 28/9/22 was told he had 3 to 6 months maybe 9 at a push he got 2 months. I tried to care for him in house but 5 times he was admitted to hospital then he had to live with his elderly parents as he couldnā€™t get up my stairs broke my heart. We tried to look after him ourselves without any help from anyone until the Saturday the doctor came from hospital & said she was going to get him in hospice. We were told there were 5 people waiting the ambulance was supposed to come at 7.00pm that night it didnā€™t we were getting calls to say they were busy as it was a Saturday night sat up all night next to him in bed couldnā€™t even cuddle him he weighed about 5 stone hadnā€™t eaten or had water for nearly 10 days. I phoned the hospice at 08.30 on Sunday morning & explained she said leave it with me. Ambulance came at 09.30 am a wait of 14 and a half hours I went in ambulance with him he lasted till Tuesday morning I was with him the whole time as I had feeling he was going to go I still donā€™t sleep i keep thinking heā€™s in house I expect him to text or phone me like you I donā€™t know what to do anymore I know what you are going through & luckily nobody has said to me ā€˜itā€™ll get better in timeā€™ I donā€™t want to hear that I lost my sister the year before as well to this nasty horrible disease x
