RIP Eddie Large

[dickie davies]

An in-law of mine!

So, my wife has lost her dad and her great-uncle in 3 weeks!



As far as I know, not directly due to the virus.

Contracted it as a secondary condition as he was fighting heart failure at the time.

My thoughts and prayers with your Mrs mate

I loved Little and Large. Eddie was obviously my favourite, being a blue. Really sad to hear of his passing and I hope his family and friends get to give him the biggest and best send off they can. Rest in peace, Eddie. You made my Saturday nights great after a (usually shit) 3pm performance.

Good morning all

I am Eddie's son Ryan and it means a lot to see such nice things written about dad. He absolutely loved the club and passed his love of the club onto me. He sometimes posted on here under the name gordoeddie.

Sadly in dad's later life we didnt get to visit the Etihad but he watched every game on a stream in his laptop. My mum used to worry that watching City would stress his heart out too much as he was so "passionate".

His favourite all time player was Tommy Johnson.

Dad was still friends with people at the club to this day, Brian Kidd and Mike Summerbee both called me to pass on their condolences.

Over the years dads best mate at the club was our former physio Roy Bailey and they spoke everyday. Dad also recently had dinner with Kevin Keegan on the night we beat Madrid and their wives had to sit and chat whilst kevin got the game up on his phone at the dinner table.

I know none of you will know me but the city connection meant I wanted to put something on here.

I truly love and miss my dad and know he will be looking down and watching City

Condolences to you & your family.

I’ve not met many famous people but I’ll never forget we spotted Eddie on our way to the turnstiles for the Wembley 81 FA Cup Final replay, lots blues shaking his hand & thanks to my dad for pushing me through, one of them was mine age 12

Hi Ryan,
Tough time for your family. My condolences to you and yours. Eddie's at peace now; hopefully he can share a chat with Bernard, Mike, Neil, MVF and all those other blues up there.
