It was a long shot, but after an impassioned
appeal on Facebook by his granddaughter
Kayleigh, 73-year-old Paddy’s dream came true.
On Tuesday, some of United’s top stars, Marcus
Rashford, Jesse Lingard, Ashley Young and
Timothy Fosu-Mensah paid him a visit.
Less than an hour after the players left, Paddy
passed away from prostate cancer.
His wife, Eunice, 71, told the Sun: ‘They were
such nice young men to go to that trouble and it
is a huge comfort to us to know he died happy.’
Kayleigh, 27, had put up the post on Facebook
on Sunday in the hope someone would help
make her granddad’s dream come true.
