Students to honour 'devoted' rugby coach and lecturer after death, aged 49

A passionate and hard-working rugby coach who took his own life is set to be remembered seven years after his death.

Paul Reid was a rugby coach and lecturer at Edge Hill University when he died at the age of 49, with students past and present making an effort to remember the dedicated lecturer and coach. Yasmin Henchcliffe, a former student and player under Paul, plays each year in the memorial game that sees former students pitted against current students in a rugby match.

Both the men's and women's teams get involved, with the students raising money for the mental health charity Mind. Speaking to the ECHO, Yasmin, now a PE teacher herself, described Paul as "passionate".
