Paul Coffman

 

 

I would like to share my fond memories of a kind and gentle sportsman with whom I both battled and played alongside. As well as being a good footballer (we both represented London Grammar Schools), he was an excellent cricketer. Captain of the school First XL he was fine batsman at number 3 or 4. He was also Head Boy of our comprehensive school of more than 1200 boys. After a gap of nearly 40 years whilst I was overseas, I met up with him at an Old Camdenians dinner and the years just fell away as we picked up where we had left off, all those years ago. I am deeply saddened at his passing. RIP Paul, friend and companion.

Paul passed away on the 17th of August 2019.
