Killed in Action
As a Stanley fan I would like to bring to the attention of the wider sporting community the tragic death of a young marine in Afghanistan last week. David Fairbrother was a member of Pioneer 79 Swimming Club, and although from Blackburn spent much of his young life training with the club at Hyndburn Sports Centre. His mother Julie, and sisters Ruth and Emily have been associated with the club for around twenty years, and have many friends in the Accrington area.
On behalf of all Stanley fans I wish to extend my deepest sympathy to Julie and her family, and assure her that David will never be forgotten.
