A lifelong Liverpool fan, Dickie Turney, received a devastating terminal diagnosis after his esophageal cancer returned aggressively. Despite beating the disease years ago, Turney's health rapidly deteriorated, leaving him with a limited time to fulfill his final wish: to see his musical hero, Michael Head, perform one last time.
A lifelong Liverpool fan was told his cancer had returned when he couldn't swallow for two days. Dickie Turney was diagnosed with cancer of the oesophagus in March last year but when doctors removed 80% of the vital organ he was told he had beaten the disease. But years later he watched Liverpool beat Chelsea 2-1 at Anfield and instead of heading to the pub with his friends, including one of his best friends Jamie Horton, he disappeared home.
But the day before, after organising tickets for the gig with Jamie and his wife, he was told he was too ill to travel back to Liverpool. Jamie, a taxi driver, said: 'Mick was his hero, he followed him everywhere and he would go to the most extreme places in the country to see him play, just like with Liverpool, he would travel home and away to watch them too.
