   Joey :) What a Legend. words cant describe how much he was liked at St Cuthberts, he was known for a football fanatic! Me and Joey argued a bit but they were just over stupid little things like who was going to win the Uefa Cup :) Well i suppose that you dont really know how much someone means to you as a friend until they are gone :( NEVER forget you Joey . RIP love laura x

   I work for Rochdale FC and I coached Joe on a number of occasions. I am utterly shocked and upset at the loss of Joseph and my upmost sympaties go to his family and friends. He was always great to coach. He put great effort in everything that he did and he will be sadly missed when Rochdale FC go to St Cuthberts High in January. RIP JOSEPH
