Former Manchester Utd youth team player & Jimmy Grimble actor Bobby Power dies aged 40 of pancreatic cancer
TRIBUTES are pouring in for a Manchester United youth team player who tragically died after a battle with cancer.
Bobby Power, who also starred as ‘Gorgeous’ Gordon Burley in the cult 2000 football film There’s Only One Jimmy Grimble, tragically passed away aged 40.
The actor had played for the former Manchester United youth team, and spent years as a personal trainer in the city.
His middle daughter, Kaitlyn Eadsforth, said: “He was really outgoing. Literally anywhere he went, he would talk to anyone. He was like a social butterfly, in any room that he went in.
“If he wasn’t at the gym he was climbing mountains. He loved helping other people. That’s what he was all about really – helping people physically and mentally.”
