HILLSBOROUGH Disaster victim Carl Brown - one of the 96 football fans who died as a result of the Sheffield tragedy 10 years ago - was specially remembered last Thursday.

Sean Hodgkiss, of Langdale Street, Leigh, who grew-up with Carl, and another mate Paul Aspey laid a red and white wreath on Carl's well-tended grave at Leigh Cemetery.

Every couple of weeks Sean sits by Carl's graveside.

"I know it sounds daft but I just chat away as if he was with me. It's such a shame such a young lad lost his life. He won't ever be forgotten," said the BT engineer. 124/120/6
