Just read in the Guardian of the death of Gerry Duffy aged 82. RIP Witton Legend .
Good local lad .How many seasons did he play for Witton? UTA
Just one season according to Oldham Athletic archives where he came to Witton from. I thought it was longer but I am sure Chad will confirm. The reason I make him a legend is because of his two goals he scored in the replay of the Cheshire Senior Cup Final against a very strong Hyde Utd team.
I thought it was longer too. Sad to see grand lads go.
WHS.
Sad to hear the news. Sincere condolences to all the family.
Seem to remember Gerry playing centre half against Witton Don’t know if was Winsford or Oswestry
Are you not thinking of big Jack Abbot, a Winsford man who played against for Winsford & Oswestry , I bowled against Jack, what a nice bloke , but sadly he died young, a few years ago .
