Manchester Evening News ;
Paul Moore, 46, was been jailed for life at Manchester Crown Court for killing Manchester City
supporter Vincent Collins.
Judge Michael Henshell sentenced Paul Moore, 46, to life and said he must serve at least 15 years.
He was found guilty of killing father-of-three Vincent Collins `in cold blood' at Manchester Crown
Court.
On the night of the murder Mr Collins, 44, was with five friends who went into the George and Dragon
pub, in High Street, Cheadle Hulme
Moore, who had drunk at least eight pints, walked home and armed himself with a hunting knife, which
he kept in a bedside cabinet.
He then returned to the pub where Mr Collins was stood at the bar, near the toilets. Moore came in
and calmly walked towards the toilets.
As he passed Mr Collins, Moore suddenly lunged at him and stabbed him in the back.
REST.IN.PEACE.
-----------------------------------
Vinny (Our Dad) Passed away in hospital on 28th August 2007. After he was stabbed on the 25th. He
lived for 3days in hospital but asleep. He never woke up from when he was stabbed.
a poem to tell the story by Lucy.xxx
Now here is a story which has to be told,
One so complicated to hear and unfold.
So take your time to respect the site,
Dont hold back from lighting a candle, you know its right.
Vinny Collins was such a great man,
He loved his family, holidays and getting a tan.
If you were sad, he would brighten your day,
He was loving and caring in such a nice way.
My dad took us on the best holidays ever,
All of those memories we shall treasure.
Even the memories of the boring times too,
Sunbathing in the back garden playing 'guess who'.
Vinny was the life and soul of everything, he always made it fun,
His jokes were daft and made us laugh, he really loved our mum.
Vinny always said he was the best looking man in the north west,
He would joke at you all day, but you'd never think he was a pest.
He would make you laugh again and again, his personality was great,
Vinny was a top man, dad, and such a good mate.
He would be there for anybody who needed him no matter what it was,
Vinny didnt see the need to ask what or why or ask because.
Vinny grew up in Manchester, he said it was the place to be,
He lived in longsight most of his life until he had children- Three!
They were all to his partner and called Lucy Abbie And Leigh!
His partner was Tracie, they were so good together, you could see.
Vinny had a mum, a dad (RIP) 3 brothers and 4 sisters,
I believe that when they were young they were right little misters!
They used to get on well and had so much love for each other,
my dad said he loved them all, each sister and brother.
My dad had loads of nephews and neices in the family too,
Most of them are proper Manchester City blues :)
His nephew Terry worked with him, my dad loved him like a son.
He nicknamed him CHESNEY, and the times they shared were fun.
Vinny is loved and missed by so many, his friends were loyal and true,
The funeral turnout was massive, He had a big family too.
People from all over the Uk came to say goodbye to my dad,
Nobody was in a good mood that day, everyone was so sad.
So i guess your wondering why such a good man had to go,
And why we are left on this earth here now, feeling so low.
Well thats another story which you wont be pleased to hear,
So read on quielty now and put your head in first gear.
My dad went to the football, to watch Man City play,
He went out with his friends, to a pub called the 'gateway'.
They all had so much fun, they had a laugh and joke with my dad,
Little did they know that the night would end so sad.
They went to a pub down the road, in cheadle not far from there,
And in there was a weirdo man sat all alone, you wouldnt want to share.
He took a dislike to my dad, for no reason at all,
He would of known there was noway he could batter him, as this man was so small.
This man was called Paul Moore, he went home and got a knife.
He came back into the pub and charged at my dad and took his life.
He stabbed him in the back, my dad did not see him come,
How pathetic, thinking he is hard. What a bag of scum!
The ambulance took my dad and looked after him well,
I do not like telling this story as its so hard to tell.
My dad lived unconisous for three days on machines,
We really thought he would make it, we were ever so keen.
We prayed next to him each of these days and telling him to pull through,
As we did not want the memories dad, we only wanted you.
But then the 28th came, and your heart went into arrest,
They could not bring you back to life, and thats lifes horrible test.
Each family member went in to see you, to say goodbye and cry,
When me and mum went in, i could only wonder why.
Why did you have to go so soon and leave us all here without you,
That day was the worst of my whole life, we really felt so blue.
It did not seem real, it was all so mean to happen to someone like you,
Such a good dad and everything else, but there was nothing the doctors could do.
Still now i wish that its all a nightmare and that you will be here,
The amount we wish for this dad, with each and every tear.
You will stay in our hearts forever, never will we forget.
Our special dad, the best in the world, so good to everyone you met.
Those memories we have are so lovely and great and forever they will treasure.
Our daddy had to go, He was such a pleasure.
We were so lucky to have you, to be a part of all our lives,
I wish you didnt go out that day, and get hurt by that knife.
But now i know your in heaven and looking after us every day,
Stay close to us all the time dad, in my heart you will stay.
I love you ever so much and i really miss you more,
Without you being here with us, all our hearts are sore.
Justice will be done i hope, all i can do is wish and pray,
That i will see you again in heaven, be with my dad someday.

Did God need another angel?
Or someone he knew would always care?
Did God need another angel?
Or someone he knew would always be there?
Did God need another angel?
Or someone to help the children cross the street?
Did God need another angel?
Or someone to be there and watch over me?
Did God need another angel?
Or someone to wait at the pearly gates?
Did God need another angel?
Or someone who loves and never hates?
Yes, God needed another angel.
Someone he can always see.
Yes, God needed another angel.
But why did he have to take you away from me?

♡ The Hearts Library..... ♡
By Sarah Blackstone.
Imagine if I was given one moment,
just a single slice of my past.
I could hold it close forever,
and that moment would always last.
Id put the moment in a safe,
within my hearts abode.
I could open it when I wanted,
and only I would know the code.
I could choose a time of laughing,
a time of happiness and fun.
I could choose a time that tried me,
through everything I've done.
I sat and thought about what moment,
would always make me smile.
One that would always push me,
to walk that extra mile.
If I'm feeling sad and low,
if I'm struggling with what to do.
I can go and open my little safe,
and watch my moment through.
There are moments I can think of,
that would lift my spirits everytime.
The moments when you picked me up,
when the road was hard to climb.
For me to only pick one moment,
to cherish, save and keep,
Is proving really difficult,
as I've gathered up a heap!
I've dug deep inside my heart,
found the safe and looked inside,
there was room for lots of moments,
in fact hundreds if I tried.
Am building my own little library,
embedded in my heart,
for all the moments spent with you,
before you had to part.
I can open it up whenever I like,
pick a moment and watch it through,
My little library acts as a promise,
I'll never ever forget you
