Steve Brown

The Oldham RL Heritage Trust would like to thank everyone who have sent good wishes to Steve and his family.

Steve, one of the trustees, was taken ill during the match at Salford last night (Friday January 16th) in an incident that was so serious that the match was suspended for 30 minutes. Luckily there was medical assistance provided within seconds and the swift actions of those involved were a vital factor in Steve being able to pull through.

The whole of the Salford staff, both medical and administrative, are to be commended for the way they responded to the emergency with personnel from the Oldham club and both sets of supporters all helping the Brown family through a very upsetting situation.

Today Steve has been in contact from hospital and seems to be in good spirits and can’t wait to be following the Roughyeds once more.
