of my Uncle, Peter Dolby.
Had a call this morning to say he had died in his sleep early this morning.
Until this point I have always know that he was a professional footballer with Shrewsbury Town, but I had not realised, probably because he was just my Uncle, just what high regard he was held by the club and the supporters. It was probably only an hour after I had heard that news was hitting the club website.

I never knew until today that he was a one club man - 15 years - and that he was one of the first players to be inducted to the clubs Hall of Fame when it was set up in 2011. He apparently also had an uncanny knack of scoring vital cup goals and was part of the Shrewsbury team that reached the semi final of the inaugral League Cup in 1961 scoring both goals that knocked out Everton in the 5th round.
God Bless and God Speed to a fine old professional.
