Louise Wanless RIP
It is with great sadness that we at the FWA learned this week that Louise Wanless had passed away at the age of 52. Louise was press officer at Middlesbrough and then Sunderland, but much more than that she was a much-loved friend and colleague for so many of our members, and a larger-than-life character in North East football. Colin Young, Chairman of the North East branch of the FWA, pays tribute to his friend here.Tags: colin young, John Fotheringham award, Louise Wanless, Middlesbrough, NE FWA awards, Sunderland
