Heartbreaking news NFFC
The wife of a dad-of-five Forest fan who died on his way home from a game at the City Ground last month says he was a "perfect all rounder" who lived for his family. Paul Jenner, 61, had watched Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg against Manchester United on the evening of January 25 and was driving back to his home in Stamford.
Speaking about the kind of person Paul was, Alison Jenner said: "He was just a person who absolutely lived for his family and who loved his football. He had been going to Forest since 1976 and he knew a lot of people at the club, in the past some of the players had been friends of his." "He said he absolutely did and we went to South Africa three months later and got married on his birthday." Since their marriage, Alison and Paul went on to have five children together - a set of twins now aged 31, another set of twins now aged 23 and another child now aged 25.
"Unfortunately, it was just Paul's time to go. Paul did always used to say though that he never wanted to get ill and end up being a burden, so a lot of people have said that this is probably how he would have wanted to go, without any fuss at all, but that doesn't make it any less heartbreaking for all of us.
