Thousands raised in memory of talented footballer Tom
HUNDREDS of relatives and friends helped raise £4,840 in memory of talented teenage footballer Tom Bothamley — a year on from his sudden death aged just 13.
Tom’s mum Keira Hayden held TomFest — a full day of music and entertainment — at the Brush and Easel pub in Flanderwell on Saturday.
Teenage singers Alfie Sheard (15) and Raigan Worsley (16) were among the acts who kept the crowds entertained.
