Neville Kneville

Had a fair few discussions over the years and some were uncivil but, always respected his opinions, especially on the youth.

Any loss is wrenching, he had real passion for the club.

He’ll be greatly missed and sincere condolences to all those who were close.
 
Sorry to hear this.
Didn’t know him personally but had some discussions on here with him and always respected his opinions. A sad loss to the forum but much more importantly to his family and friends.
RIP
 
Always came across as a top bloke, knowledgeable and a great contributor to this forum.

Condolences to his loved ones. 59 is such a young age.

I hope he's now having a beer with Nijinsky.

I had the good fortune to miss the Derby away game but I did go down to Reading with him for a midweek game in 1998. We lost 3 nil and were relegated to the third division at the end of the season. Tony was as positive as ever on the way back.

I was on a business trip to London and went to Reading that night to see City live for the first time! Pissing down rain the whole time and City wore those awful bumblebee away kits if I recall correctly. RIP Blue.

That is really upsetting.

Funnily enough I was just thinking about Nev the other day because he hadn't posted for a while, and I was wondering why. I really enjoyed every post that Nev made on the forum. Unlike most of us (myself included) he possessed a deep insight into the game, and his thoughts were always articulate and very well reasoned. I would say that I almost always read Nev's thoughts on all issues related to City.

My profound condolences to all Nev's family and friends.

its great that you could see his knowledge and insight through his posts. Me and Gingers Dad had the privilege on many occasions to experience it in person. If we made the mistake of disagreeing with him about a players performance, he would take us through the recording of the match and showed us why we were wrong. Going to miss our brilliant City chats

Sincere Condolences to Nev’s family and friends.

If it’s any consolation, he (along with the rest of us) has probably had the best 10 years of city supporting life. A supporters life that none of us ever dared dream of. Be thankful for that.

Every time city win something I think back to a couple of blues I knew who passed away just before the takeover.

Those of us that have experienced it are so lucky.

Rest in Peace Nev.

I actually think Tony was happier when we were shit. After many a depressing defeat we would meet up with him because it never got him down. He was always very positive and we were only ever a few academy players away from being a top side. He was very passionate about the youth players coming through, rather than big money signings
 
Late to the thread, but am genuinely upset to read this truly wretched news, especially given his relatively young age. NK was a real asset to this community and one of a fairly small number of posters whose contributions I particularly look out for.

His views were strongly held and sometimes trenchantly expressed, but, even when you disagreed with him, it was always obvious that they were based on a deep knowledge of MCFC and football in general. For that reason, he could really make you think and his passion for the Blue cause shone through like a beacon.

RIP, mate. And sincere condolences to your friends and family.
