Football Fan of the Week: John Merriman

Each week, the Hillsborough Patch will feature someone at the game who is among the Hillsborough Raiders football team's biggest fans. We'll get to know each of them a little, and find out what makes them follow Raider gridiron players so closely.

This week, we meet John Merriman, whose son Bryan plays on both the offensive and defensive lines.
