Every keen follower of our local football back home had attested to the fact that Patrick was one of the passionate care givers to our poor athletes and even fans.

I wish he is rewarded with the fruits of his relentless sacrifices in saving lives, restoring smiles and promoting the youth faculty in our sports”.
