Tributes are being paid to an avid Manchester City fan described as a 'true pillar of the community' after his sad death following a road traffic collision. The family of John Pearson, who was 75, have paid touching tribute to a 'wonderful husband, fantastic dad and much-loved grandpa'.
Mr Pearson was one of the founder members of a 'Junior Blues' group where he lived connected to what his family called 'his beloved Manchester City'.
Mr Pearson, from Fulwood, Lancashire, was driving a Volvo C70 on Egerton Road, Prestwon, when the vehicle collided with a parked car around midday last Friday, September 23.
