I lost my own Dad in July 2019, and I think about him most days.

And of course, Mrs Vienna is never far from my thoughts.

Great photo, Alex was a lovely chap.

Sorry to hear that he has passed, I knew him around the time of the CSA being setup, as our branch formed and joined not long after it all started, after breaking away from another OSC branch after a serious dispute over tickets. I ran the branch for about 3 years, and tried to make most meetings as representative of our branch, though I've not been involved for a few years now.

So sorry to hear about your loss. I'm the same age as your Dad was so I'll carry the torch for him at the Etihad on Sunday. May God look after his Sky Blue soul. RIP.

Rip blue. I'm very sorry for your loss. I hope you can have many happy memories of your father at this difficult time. All the best.

He's gone to that great stand in the sky where all the old died-in the-wool blues go to watch all the matches, with a nice drink of beer, bovril, tea and a wagon wheel, barm cake or a muffin - whatever they like. Everyone's a blue and half-and-half scarves are banned.

Paradise!

Sorry to hear this news, I can’t say I knew him personally, but I am sure me and rkid have spoken to him many a time, usually in the Football in Swinton after matches, probably around the late 80s early 90s,
RIP
