Big Tom Gerard

Tom was a well known and loved within our community in Willenhall and Coventry.

His sad passing this weekend has touched many of his friends and has devastated his family.

Tom was a huge inspiration to many that he met throughout his life especially within the local football community, as a player and later manager.

He was a huge football fan and helped many lads along the way in the local game, always happy to encourage and mentor younger players.

He was very sociable and enjoyed a pint with his mates and always had a story or joke to tell he will be missed by us all.

His family are obviously devastated by his loss and during this time we would like to ask his many friends to help contribute towards the funeral arrangements, this would help take away any added emotional and financial stress for them whilst they come to terms with their loss.
