Maxamillions and millions and millions

My name is Jacob. I grew up in Queens Park a couple of hundred metres from Max and the rest of the five boys. Max is always somebody that will be a main part of Queens Park and all of our childhoods. I totally associate him with every factor of a sunny summers day, kicking balls and being "Queens Parkers", throughout my life. He is the first to come to mind in mention of a fotty game. He was always full of energy and spirit, always the first to get the game going, always the last to leave the pitch, always the joker, always smiling, always greeting and welcoming, always Max. Didn't have a bad bone in his body or a bad thought in his head. He brought outsiders in, and was the link between so many people and the starter of so many friendships. I think and thank for all those that I wouldn't know and love, if I had not been a friend of his. His group, the five of them (Ize, Dash, Owe and Louis), is always something beautiful to watch. I envied and warmed to how close they all were, and still are, and how much love they all have for eachother. That love will be passed on through our thoughts of Max forever. I know I will never forget him, because the strength of his character was enough to live on in my memory. Seamus and Victoria, my thoughts are, and have been, and will be, with you and the boys entirely. It gives me great pride to know all of you.

All my love. Jacob.


I took this picture on the 5th January 2006. It was the last time I saw Max, and he was on amazing form.
