A ‘well-regarded’ former rugby player from Trafford died after falling down a flight of stairs at his local rugby club, an inquest has heard.
Philip Lamb, 70, from Sale, had been watching a rugby game at Sale Rugby Club's Corpacq Stadium on Heywood Road on the afternoon of December 18, 2021. An inquest into Philip’s death at South Manchester Coroner’s Court on Thursday (March 31) heard how he had been at the club’s first floor bar for more than four hours drinking with friends and his son, Chris.
Philip’s daughter-in-law Emma Woods arrived at the club at around 6.45pm that evening to pick Phil and Chris up. As they began walking down the stairs to leave the premises, Philip lost his footing and fell down the flight of stairs.
