Quite a character she was. Tough as nails. She also had a bit of soft spot for Town despite, as far as I am aware, never having seen them play.
As I understand it, the affection was the result of a pen-friend she adopted from one of the special schools down here. She used to write letters regularly to a boy about her age who followed Town. Think it was part of his treatment and in an attempt to make him feel part of society etc.
Apparently it all went a bit pear shaped when he broke out and turned up on the doorstep. Not sure her father was much impressed and she palmed the window-licker off on her adopted sister after that.
