FOLLOWING the devastating fire which destroyed The Green Dragon pub two weeks ago, an appeal has been launched by Liphook United Football Club to help their former manager.

Kevin Adair lost everything in the fire, but his main concern is for his family – his 10-year-old daughter and his six-year-old son.

"My kids have not only lost their home, their belongings and clothes, but also their toys," he said.

"We are currently staying with friends but I need to look for temporary accommodation for myself and the family, until the pub can be rebuilt and reopened - which will be a long process.

"I need to find a three-bedroom house for about nine months fairly soon where we can all live."
