RIP Anthony Veevers (AntonDonJuan)

IMG_1788.jpegI was shocked to hear the news, RIP Anton. We’d shared some really, really fun times together following City round Europe. Think these pics were from Schalke. A very funny idiot, it’s unbelievably sad. Condolences to Deb, Mike and all his family.

Gutted obviously. I met Ant through this forum, and after the 5 a sides and bluewatch games we became good friends and had season tickets together at City for a number of years. We didn't see each other as much over recent years but we had a bite to eat and catch up before he got married - the first thing he said when he saw me was "Look how grey you've gone!". He always was always cheeky little...!

We shared a few texts after that to keep in touch but I didn't know he'd become unwell so it came as a shock when his dad told me the news on Thursday. I spoke to his dad who is obviously cut up. I'm in touch with his mum who is also heartbroken. This isn't going to be easy. Ant is going to be sorely missed

Couple of pics - first was from a 5 a side tourney at the etihad (Ant front middle). Second is from the game vs Bluewatch - Ant on the left, Tom, Ric and me. Was a good laugh with good people back in the day:

But this is how I'll always remember Ant - ranting a load of (funny) nonsense whilst we all laugh along at the show he was putting on. This was circa 2011/12 in the south stand when we had season tickets together:

He was always great company. I always looked forward to seeing him. He was always great fun. And he will always be missed.

RIP Ant. I loved the lad

Thoughts with his family who are obviously heartbroken.

A few of us will be going to Ants funeral. When plans are made I'll share details with anyone else who would like to pay their respects.

Lovely words Al, those BM 5 a sides birthed some lasting friendships.

From looking at your last photo I think I sat near you all for some years, all very familiar looking. Great pics.
