Tributes paid to teenager Louis Way
Source: This is Nottingham. TRIBUTES have been paid to a teenager known for his quick wit and love of football. About 600 mourners attended a fun
Louis, who died on January 9 at the age of 19, was known for his outgoing personality and the importance he placed on his friends as well as his favourite sport.
He grew up in East Leake and attended Brookside Primary School, before spending a brief period at Bunny Church of England School.
After primary school, he went to Harry Carlton Comprehensive, in East Leake, before taking a one-year BTEC sports qualification at Loughborough College. Louis made his mark in local football, playing for Keyworth United, Clifton All Whites, East Leake Bantams and then its adult team, East Leake Athletic.
His mother, Lorraine Robinson, said Louis had lived and breathed the sport.
She said: "He spent a lot of time involved in football – he was a bit of a utility player, so he would sometimes be a midfielder, or sometimes in goal.
"He enjoyed the camaraderie; he was always out with his mates. He was always the centre of attention, but if any of his mates phoned up at 4am with a problem, he would be there for them."
Louis had been working at local pub the Three Horseshoes and Mrs Robinson said he enjoyed working with people.
"He had only recently started there as a barman, but he was enjoying dealing with people; he was the life and soul at the pub.
"He just liked spending time with people. He had got into poker and pool, mainly because it had a social aspect to it.
"He has affected so many people. I know people in their 70s and 80s whose lives he has had an impact on."
East Leake Bantams players wore black armbands at a match in tribute to him last month.
He is survived by his mother, father, stepfather, twin brother and two sisters.
