Jamo came through the Junior Ranks all the way up to the 1st XV, where he served the club for a number of years in the 90s. He was a proud Member of Sedgley Park and came up several times a year to meet old friends. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him at the club. The thoughts of the Club are with Mo and all his family. The details of Jamo’s funeral are as follows: Friday, 30th July, 12:15 Service at Christ the King church, Amos Ave, Newton Heath, Manchester, M40 2RS Followed by brief service at Blakeley Crematorium and then a wake at the Admiral Nelson pub, Failsworth.
