MY dad, former Saints and Warrington halfback Alan Gwilliam passed away recently at the age of 71. He had been in ill health for a few years and finally succumbed on 7 May 2021. Admitted to Whiston Hospital on April 24 he was diagnosed with sepsis, ‘Gwilly’ was only given a few days to live, but always being a fighter, Dad defied medical experts and managed to hold on for a further two weeks. In a year that has seen so much sadness, separation and death for everyone across the country it's difficult to put Dad’s journey into context as no life is worth more than any other.
