I would just like to post here in memory of a friend of my mum's called Adrian Shelford. He played professional rugby for a number of years playing for Wigan and I think he had a stint playing in Australia too.

 

After playing rugby he turned to teaching IT in high school, this is where be became a good friend of my mum. He was very popular with the children teaching them how to do the hacker in lessons.

 

He died of a heart attack this morning while getting up for work. He was 36. He leaves behind a wife and 2 children, aged 10 and 6.

 

I know some people dont like posts like this, but to others it helps.

 

My thoughts go out to his family.

That's very sad - did his family have a history of heart problems ?

 

:cry: A life lived to the full is never a waste, no matter how long. So sad for the wife & kids.

I dont think he did. If he did he would have known about it from playing professional with the regualar medicals they have.
