Virtually 24 hours earlier on Bluemoon we had a thread "Anybody up all night". This was initially a chat amongst us about not being able to sleep due to the excitement of it being the eve of Derby Day and then it changed due to a horrible event.
Previously that evening "Birchwood Ginger Ste" had lost his Best mate who had collapsed and died in his arms during a normal 5 a side kick around, this Lad had only just got married and presuming he is the same age as my former work collegue Birchwood GS could only have been mid thirties.
I cant swear to it blind; but I am sure Fixer claimed to know the Guy and posted in this thread.
Seeds of an idea perhaps ?
I am glad the Mods are letting us finally discuss this - because only through discussion can it finally be put to bed.
The thread is in the mods 'cellar' - on there is a post saying someone played poker with fixers wife a few days before. That poster will know for sure I'd guess.
That poster could come forward or a mod could try and contact him - can't see either of those things happening though. Alternatively of course fixer comes forward and tells us himself.
I can see this being a mystery forever.
