Paul Gilman was a friend of mine, he played in my football team and his Daughter and my Daughters are friends, he died last year of a heart attack.Great bloke.
I was at his funeral and I told a story that summed him up,he was playing football for my team and went in for a tackle and the noise I heard a crack I knew he had broken his leg.I could see the bone sticking out so I threw myself on him to stop him getting up and doing more damage to his leg.
Once we spoke to him he was calm,and asked me for a cigarette,the referee was shocked at the state of his leg so didnt say anything,but then Paul said something to me which really summed him up,and had us all laughing.
He said I wish I had a Sh*t before I came out because I need one now! The worse bit was telling his wife that he had been taken to hospital as at first she thought I was joking,then the shock because thier son was being christened the following sunday.He had 2 or 3 operations on his leg and arrived at the Christerning in a wheelchair with his leg plastered up,
Believe me he was a great guy and is sadly missed.
