       The Blackburn Rovers v Nottingham Forest fixture arranged for
       April 26 (1965) after being postponed last Saturday, will now be
       played on April 27 (7.30).
       This is to avoid a clash with the Ken Hiley charity match at
       neighbouring Burnley.
       Mr. Hiley, a linesman, (aged 38) was killed recently in a car
       accident on his way to a match at Carlisle.
       Hiley became a F.L. linesman in 1955

       The crash occurred some time earlier (March 16th 1965) on the
       way to a Carlisle-Reading game. He was travelling with his
       father and match referee Colin Cooke when their vehicle spun off
       the road into a river. Ken Hiley and his father sadly drowned
       while Colin Cooke was injured.
