My condolences. Peace and love to family and friends
At one point Bill banned me 5 times in a row at night because i was being a dick. He would ring me and tell me to go to bed.Only met Bill once in his shop but i didn't know him. I would have liked to have known him because i think we'd have got on. He PMd me a few times with warnings and possibly banned me. No hard feelings since though. I know PB banned me when he was a mod and we laughed it off at a meet up. I've met Colin a few times since and have the utmost respect for him especially for giving me 2 match tickets from the kindness of his heart. Thanks mate.
Although there's quite a bit of arguing and dick measuring on this forum it's not like that at meet ups and games, and I've met at least 40 blues off here and all have been sound in the real world.
I met him in Munich a few years ago outside a bar and soon after we had about 15 Blues who didnt know each other previously out on a pre match pub crawl.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.
Applause on 69 minutes tomorrow?He was 69 in December
