I get the bus to home games from the beehive every week.
Very sad news indeed.

Re: Eric Griffiths (Whitefield) RIP
I was lucky and honoured to have known Eric since he returned from South Africa over 10 years ago. Although only in north Wales for a couple of years I got to know Eric, Rena and Emma very well in deed and have spent many a happy hour in their company. I've travelled with Eric to many home and away City games and remember 2 in particular, the away game at Lokeren, where we met in the town square and had such a good laugh with the locals, the police and all the other Blues. The other trip was to Portsmouth for the weekend. To be in his company was something else, someone we all looked up to, mainly because he was over 6' foot! His past few years he travelled the world following England cricket team, with his famous Union Jack Bee Hive MCFC flag. Some morning's he had to get there early just so he could climb up scaffolding and other structures to give it the best position in the ground. High and proud. I rang him on his mobile phone once whilst it was being televised live on Sky TV. He answered the phone and was captured by the cameras whilst we were talking, I told him to give us a waive and he did, the commentator said that he must be waiving to the wife! He was a great man and it was an honour to know him.

R.I.P Eric and condolences to your family. You were a true gent and I never heard anybody have a bad word to say about you, some going for a landlord. An example to us all as a blue, and a man
