Reply back from Neil Young's wife..

[loobyloo6]

As you know I sent the 1970 League cup final programme to Neil young on the day he sadly passed away. The programme is an ongoing project that will be auctioned off at some point for "Help the Heros". Today I have received the programme back with a signed photo added by Neil's wife, Looks like Neil had a few photo's to one side already signed...His wife has added the dedication..That's what I assuime anyway. Obviously the programme is not signed by Neil. His wife, Carmen I think, has added a note to the back of the photo, One to treasure.
Neil James Young (17 February 1944 – 3 February 2011) was an English footballer who made more than 400 appearances in the Football League playing as a striker for Manchester City, Preston North End and Rochdale. In total, Young scored 86 goals from 334 League games for Manchester City, scored the only goal in the 1969 FA Cup Final, and scored as City won the 1970 European Cup Winners' Cup Final. Transferred to Preston North End for £48,000 during the 1971–72 season, he made 68 League appearances and scored 18 goals for the Deepdale club before finishing his senior career with Rochdale, where he spent the 1974–75 season.

Thank you very much at this very sad time, Carmen Young.
