Just read about the recent death of Karl Newton. He was a scout at Blackburn Rovers. Absolutely awful news. My sincere condolences to his partner, family and friends.
I’ve copied and pasted this from Blackburn’s site.
“We are devastated to learn of the tragic and untimely passing of Karl Newton, who recently joined the club as our new technical recruitment analyst.
An experienced and highly-regarded football scout, who had also worked for Stockport County, AFC Fylde, Sheffield Wednesday, Middlesbrough and Leyton Orient, Karl sadly passed away last week whilst walking in the Lake District with friends.
The thoughts of everyone at Blackburn Rovers are with Karl’s partner, Louise, and his family and friends at this incredibly difficult time.”
Karl Newton. RIP
