Ex-Manchester United star Bobby Power married his childhood sweetheart in front of friends and family on Valentine’s Day just weeks before his death to cancer

The footballer, 40, sadly passed away at Dr Kershaw’s Hospice in Oldham following a difficult battle with pancreatic cancer. 

Bobby died just a fortnight after getting married to his childhood sweetheart Jemma Power-Bliss, leaving behind his daughters Loren, 20, Kaitlyn, 19, and 12-year-old Heidi. 

A JustGiving page started by friend Leigh Sarsfield read: ‘[Thanks] for organising a beautiful wedding to allow Bobby & Jem to become husband and wife at very short notice and making their day so special the continued support for Bobby and his family at such a challenging time from each and every staff member is truly incredible, we cannot thank you enough.

‘Thank you for all the very kind donations and messages of support let’s try and make a difference together.’
