Book of Condolence

12:57pm Monday 13th October 2008 in


Tributes have been paid to the three Bradford men, including two brothers, killed in a motorway crash as they travelled home from watching England play at Wembley.

Tony Worby, 25, and Jonathan Worby, 21, of Rowlestone Rise, Greengates, died at the scene of the accident on the M1 in South Yorkshire.

Gareth Rhodes, 23, of Lavell Mews, Eccleshill, died later at Rotherham District General Hospital.

The Telegraph & Argus has opened a book of condolence in their memory.
