Perhaps one of the most touching aspects was when a group of fans in the Harry McNally unfurled a ‘RIP Garry’ banner and chants of ‘One Garry Allen’ rang out from the stands as the family stood in front of the stand where he lost his life.

The family praised the actions of club doctors, paramedics and the police in their attempts to save Garry’s life and members of the ambulance service were also in attendance as part of the tributes.

Garry’s funeral service will take place on Tuesday, March 28, at Chester Crematorium from 2.40pm.
