RIP Bill Lyons (@Bill, previously @de niro) update re funeral pg 51/JustGiving link p52

[blueyorkie]

I’m so saddened to report the passing of Bill Lyons who finally lost his battle with Motor Neurone Disease yesterday.

Bill was a true legend as I’m sure many on here will testify.

It was my honour to do many trips with him, I particularly European away where we would room together.

So many brilliant memories of happy times.

Sleep well and rest in peace Bill.

Thoughts with Jeanie, Martin, Jess, Jenna and the whole family.

I am aware that, at Bill’s request, they do want to keep things private.

Awful news, a full on true Blue, will be missed by all, RIP De Niro

Horrible disease, just awful, I’m attending a dinner at Ashton Golf Club in about three weeks in aid of MND.

RIP even though I never knew him, always sad to lose a Blue.

As an aside did Bill have a retail outlet?

Gutted to hear of this.
Met.him a couple of times, the first time in 2014 when I came over for the first time in 3 years after emigrating.
I asked on here if anyone had a spare ticket for the game v Hull and Bill said he did. We met outside the turnstile and he wouldn't accept any money for the ticket despite my insistence he did......
At half time he was on his phone and on this site showing me all the shit he had to delete from the match day forum!

RIP Bill - glad he left us knowing we are the best team in the land and all the world
