Another seasider gone

[Seasideandy]

Just been sent a message that Dave Burns, long time Blackpool fan and very keen charity fundraiser has died.
No more details but a character who will be remembered.
I recall being in Florida in 1996 and had my Blackpool shirt on. Dave was in front of us in queue when he chirped up 'I travel 4000 miles and see a fellow seasider'!
RiP Dave
