"I remember David..."
My favourite memory of David, or 'Taffy' as I knew him, was of the first
time I saw him after he joined the Royal Navy.
We met up after a Sunday service at the church where we'd played together
in the youth club football team. Taffy was obviously proud to be back
amongst his friends and family after completing his basic training.
However, after the service we still managed to tempt him into an impromptu
game of knockabout football, despite the fact he was wearing a spanking
new suit and gleaming shoes!
That was Taffy - a genuine lad, full of life and energy, an average
footballer (sorry mate!) but a good friend.
