Fulham Fan Clare pays tribute to her Dad - Paul Parish Remembered
Fulham Fan Clare is welcomed to Blackpool to pay tribute to her dad and thank the medics who tried to save his life after he suffered a heart attack during the match between Fulham and Blackpool.
The game was paused for over 40 minutes as medics from Blackpool and Fulham raced to help save Paul's life. The following day both sets of supporters were saddened to hear the news that Paul didn't pull through. I imagine It will be a moment that will be remembered by both sets of fans and their clubs for many years to come.
Blackpool fans arranged for both Clare and her daughter to be guests for the day to watch Blackpool play Swansea and I was asked if I could film an interview with them. We met up in the Blackpool Supporters bar The Armfield Club before the game and it was such a pleasure. Clare was absolutely lovely, such a genuinely lovely lady and I'm sure her dad will be very proud.
For those of us that have lost our own fathers, the dads that took us along to watch their teams when we were young, the dads that made us the supporters we are today, the dads that we shared all the ups and downs with over the years whilst watching our beloved teams together, we know only too well the pain of losing our fathers and this will bring a tear to those of you that have, oh how much we miss them.
But it's moments like this that bring us all closer together as we really are just #OneFootballFamily
