Life long BWFC supporter Florence Brandwood has died aged 90 years old.
I mentioned Mrs Brandwood on the BN some time ago, although I never knew her first name. Well, I'd only be abou 10/11 yrs old and children, in those days didn't address their elders by their first names.
In the early 60's she used to stand in the embankment end, by the blue fence, near the Manny Rd corner flag. She always had sweets and Uncle Joe's mint balls, if I remember correctly.
I distinctly remember her having one of those lighter filled metal hand warmers, which on a very cold day, she let me hold until my hands got some feeling back...who could afford gloves? Who knows who we were playing?
Happy days...
God Bless Mrs Brandwood R.I.P.
