Keith was a caring family man who loved his family first and Blackpool FC second. He loved people and didn’t have a bad word to say about anybody.

Mr Griffiths, a retired policeman from Bispham, had supported Blackpool since 1953 and had been a season ticket holder at Bloomfield Road since 1984.

Mrs Tomlinson said he brought his three daughters and three grandchildren up as Blackpool fans – and managed to convince his wife of 52 years, Sheila, to accompany him to the play-off final at Wembley back in 2010.

“He worked in Blackpool for 30 years as a policeman and he was loyal to his town.

“We are all going to watch the second leg because that’s where my dad and my sister, Sarah, would have been anyway, and I think my mum is going to come too.

“Fingers crossed they can win and we can go down to Wembley. It cost him a fortune to take us all last time and we have to get there now for my dad, I think there will be a few more family members clamouring to come too as a tribute to him.”

Thankyou so much for visiting this page and donating in his memory. We as a family really appreciate it as Keith would have done.
