From Graham Pirt on Facebook

'It is with great sadness to let you know that Val rang me to say that Chris Sugden (Sid Kipper) passed away last night. She needs time today so you can make contact with me via messenger. I am seeing her tomorrow. Our thought are with her and Chris’s family'

Very sad news. A man who brought a lot of laughs to many people over the years.

More recently I have been enjoying his history of the Kipper family articles in the Tykes Stirrings magazine

RIP
