Yes that was the family.

Thanks for that, I knew one or two of them quite well. Sincere condolences. Too young to die.

Could you let me know when his funeral is, I would like to attend if possible. Thanks.

So sad to hear this news. Sad too for Vinny, Cath and the rest of his siblings. We were all classmates at Blessed Sacrament. See Vinny on PNE occasionally. That family have had more than their fair share of tragedy in last few years. RIP Mick. Thoughts and prayers for all the family too.

Sincere condolences. I did not know Mick but I know his his home area very well - I grew up on what used to be just the other side of the tracks. I have even a good while back had a drink in the Ribbleton so I can feel an affinity. RIP.

SA self confessed "beer monster" Mick was a regular in both Blessed Sac club (now closed) and the Ribbleton pub (in all it's various guises), and various town centre hostelries including the Old Bull and the Blue Bell. Whilst he projected a gruff exterior he was a lovely, warm and funny guy at heart.

R.I.P. Mick.

Whilst I’m not sure I knew him personally I think your description encapsulates the vast majority of north end fans I grew up with and know. I’m sure many of us grew up around (or at least knowing of) Meadow Street and match day in those pubs or those in the Plungie/Moor Park/ Deepdale areas in the good old days. Wherever you went you bumped into people you knew.

RIP Mick

No. He was 72 yesterday. He lived on Moorside Ave near Blessed Sac club and church.

Sincere condolences MG. Very sad news.

Mick would probably be a bit too young to be going in 'The Bowling Green' (pre 'Ribbleton').

Thanks @Sid Snot.

Although I lived in the area when the Bowling Green was still standing I don't remember it being demolished. Was it about 1964? Mick was older than me and was born in 1950 so he probably started nicking in the Ribbleton from about '66/ 67.

I believe you're right saying 1964ish. My dad (when he was still single) and grandad went in the Bowling Green as they lived on Dorman Road that ran at the back of the pub. My first visit to the Ribbleton would be Xmas 1967. Some really good folk up there 👍.
