FORMER workmates of a man who died after a night out, took to the pitch at Darlington FC's Feethams ground last night to raise money for his family.
Paul Simpson's ex-colleagues at Morrison's, in North Road, Darlington, played the football match for his partner, Patricia, and daughters, Lauren and Ashleigh.
As well as the fun match, there were raffles, and face painting for children.
Mr Simpson, 34, was found unconscious by police in Askrigg Street, Darlington, early on Sunday, March 11.
He had a fractured skull, and died the following day.
Alfred Robert Welch, 21, of Harris Street, Darlington, is remanded in custody, charged with Mr Simpson's murder.
