'They don’t make them like Moggy anymore': Dozens attend funeral of diehard Rochdale FC fan and charity fundraiser Stephen 'Moggy' Murray

Mourners paid their respects as a diehard football fan made his last visit to his beloved club. The funeral of life-long Rochdale FC supporter Stephen 'Moggy' Murray was held on Friday following his death aged 68.

Carrying flags and wearing scarves and Rochdale shirts with 'Moggy 68' on the back, family, friends and fellow Dale supporters marched from Spotland Stadium to St Clement's Church, where a service was held.

Moggy, a retired window cleaner and an ever-present on the Spotland terraces since he was teenager, was also a well-known charity fundraiser in Rochdale. Over the years he raised thousands of pounds through sponsored walks, often with his ladder on his shoulder.
