  • Family's gala day hope for kind Garry

    THE parents of a man who died from swine flu just hours after complaining of a sore throat and headache are hoping to organise an annual football tournament in his memory.
    Kind-hearted Garry Irvine, who lived with his parents Ian, 73, and Mary, 75, in Mayfield, Midlothian, was rushed to hospital after collapsing at home in January, but could not be saved.

    The 49-year-old's sudden death sent shockwaves through the local community as he had apparently been in good health almost to the day he died.

    Ian and Mary - a retired home help, who said Garry had "never been ill" prior to his death - had a shield made in their son's memory and had hoped local teams Arniston Rangers, of which Garry was a big fan, and Newtongrange Star would play a match to win it.
