I first met Bryan on the pre season tour to Italy in 1992. He was on our coach trip from Chadderton. He was great fun to be with, liked a pint and a good laugh. Not seen him that often as I also became ill just over 10yrs ago, but whenever we bumped into each other at games, we would always reminisce about that trip.
Here’s a picture of Bryan 33yrs ago at Verona’s stadium (2-2) in the purple shirt holding a fag, next to me (in Blue). RIP Bryan, a good lad indeed. X

Here's a few more from that trip, the first one shows the type of character he was and had to be in the thick of it and was always the life and soul. Also a photo of the infamous City/Toro flag. RIP Bryan, thanks for the memories Blue

I remember him on a mini bus to QPR when we played them in the league a few days after we’d played in the League Cup. I tried speed for the first time the night before in The Venue and had been up all night. That was a loooooong day.

A gram of “hurry up” never did anyone too much harm!

The original one on Whitworth street? Had many a night in their in the late 80's early 90's.

Yes mate, Bywaters executive. Chadderton lads always used Bywaters.

Middleton lads were there also

Middleton lads were there also

True, I should have said Chadderton Tavern lads, which we all were. Chadderton, Middleton, Castleton, and a few from Keighley every week!

Fridays at the Venue were the bollocks. Leo spinning the tunes

Thursday Temperance club at Hac; Friday Venue, Saturday on the bucking bronco at De Villes.
Played pool against Ian Brown in the Venue.
Leo was the absolute bollocks - loads of Smiths, Roses, Mondays with the odd bit of Guns n Roses thrown in. Me and our kid would go home counting how many Smiths he’d played - loads of B sides and album tracks. The bloke that had the City shop opposite the supporters club was also on the Venue door. Colin?
