Bury FC: Part of our family for four generations
"When a dad and his young lad have something in common like that, it's like an unbreakable bond. The club is like another part of the family."His dad took him to his first match, against local rivals Bolton in 2002. They won and Ryan was hooked - a story that will resonate with millions of football fans.Its first five games of the seasonto avoid expulsion from the English Football League.
Ryan's grandad Phil arrived in Bury in the 1970s. The town became his home, the club became his team.When Ryan and his dad couldn't make a particular match he"took it upon himself to ring a taxi which dropped him off outside the ground. "That's what it's about. It's the community. He didn't think for one minute that someone wouldn't help him across the car park and to his seat. He knew that there'd be people there to help him.""From the spot where his ashes are buried you can see the floodlights rising up out the trees.
"As a dad that's into football, one of the first things you think about when you have a child is who are they going to support and how are you going to make them into as big of a Bury fan as I am."
