Doreen was well known in the footballing circles, especially in Cannock, where she had lived, as well as in the communities surrounding clubs like Villa and Forest, where Collymore had a significant impact. His message revealed how much she was loved and respected by those who had crossed paths with her, even briefly. Collymore expressed his appreciation for the kindness and attention shown to his mother over the years, highlighting how deeply it had meant to her.
While sharing the news of her passing, Collymore poignantly described his final moments with his mother, saying, “I held her hand and stroked her head as she passed on.” Despite the overwhelming grief he felt, Collymore also expressed profound gratitude for the privilege of having such a wonderful person as his mother. This sentiment was encapsulated in a touching moment when he shared a personal exchange: "Mom, why do you love me?" “Because you’re mine,” she had responded, words that remain etched in his heart.
Collymore’s football career began in the youth ranks of Walsall before moving on to Wolverhampton Wanderers. However, it was his time at Nottingham Forest, where he scored 41 goals in just 65 league appearances, that brought him into the limelight. His remarkable performances earned him a transfer to Liverpool, followed by a move to Aston Villa, a club Collymore had supported since childhood.
As he navigates through this moment of personal loss, Collymore has promised to share the funeral details for those who wish to join in celebrating his mother’s life. The photos he shared, one from the beginning and one from the end of their journey together, served as a testament to the deep bond they shared.
Collymore’s message was not just an announcement, but a heartfelt tribute to the woman who had been a constant source of love and support throughout his life. Through his words, it is clear that the grief he feels is not just a reflection of loss but a deep appreciation for the legacy his mother leaves behind.
