Story
Now I'm not going to pretend that I was Hodges best mate or even close. I occasionally played football on Saturday mornings with him, his dad and his brother.
One thing I do know is that Hodge was a nice kind and caring young lad, all you have to do is look on Facebook and see the comments from his close friends and family.
I'd like this page to generate some money to pay towards a lasting tribute in Poynton and local charitable causes chosen by his family.
I'm hoping to organise some sort of sponsored football game in memory aswell.

7 years agoJust wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who has donated so far. There has been lost of interest in the football tournament, to respect the familys privacy and let them grieve we will organise the tournament once the funeral has happened.

My son Alex worked with James at Waitrose and said he was a really great lad, good to talk to and always cheery. He made an impression. We are so terribly sad to hear of this.
