“Not only did I have the pleasure of playing football under his guidance at Wakefield but he lived with us a short time in the 70s when he was in California. We were introduced to Coach Tighe’s 4 ring dinner as he called Kay’s cooking and still use the term for good meals. He not only touched my life but that of my 2 sons.”
