had probably kept pigeons for longer than anyone else in Burnley, and it's fair to say they were his life. He would spend hours down at the pen and raced them all over. Indeed, he particularly loved cross-channel racing.
"He was also a very fit man and still lived in his own house right up to his death. He never drove a car and used to transport the pigeons in a basket on a pram which he would push around. He also enjoyed writing poetry."
