Thank you does not feel like a big enough word, but I wanted to thank you all the MAN v FAT leagues / community up and down the country for all their support.
As I said earlier, I also wanted to thank each member of the MAN v FAT Northampton league for everything, all the messages, all the acts of kindness, all the doorstep deliveries of flowers, vouchers, for setting up and donating to the JustGiving page, for the texts just checking in on us and for the amazing guard of honour at Roger’s funeral. I am so proud of all of you.
I wanted to thank everyone who was there when Rog collapsed during the match. I know you all did everything you could, and I really do appreciate how hard it must have been for you to deal with and I will always be forever thankful for everything that all of the players and Akshay and Adam’s girlfriend did that night.
Obviously, we ultimately did lose Rog but I truly do believe that its with thanks to you all, the paramedics, all the doctors and nurses in resus and then the intensive care unit at Northampton Hospital, that we were able to say our goodbyes to Rog (although I did tell him I couldn’t say goodbye as I wasn’t ready) but it allowed us time as a family to be with him one last time and for that I am extremely grateful and thankful to you all.
