People have different opinions on Raffa, some good some not so good, but there's one thing that can't be denied, the man is a class act
That more than a number programme on LFC TV is tough to watch but really gives you an insight in to the supporters who passed away. Just been watching the mother of Johnathan Owens talking about her son who was 18 when he died, fcukin 18. It was his first away game, his dad loaned him his car so he and his 2 mates could go the game, none of them came home.
