RIP Eddie, and thanks for the kind words re my scattershot input to 'King Of The Kippax' back in the day. Those words meant so much to me. Fair travels, mate.

I lived in Reading in the late 70's early 80's and I remember getting on a train to go to Ipswich (via London) and these two guys were on board, travelling second class. I knew Eddie was a big city fan (think Sid was too) and sat opposite them fir the journey into London.

Real nice genuine down to earth guys, a great laugh.

RIP Eddie, thoughts are with your family right now.

I recall a story of him chasing the City coach to be got in to a match at Wembley - not sure which match for.

RIP EDDY

Feel gutted about this tbh honest Eddie is one of us :-(

Coronavirus as well :(

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.

RIP Eddie. Along with Helen 'The Bell' Turner became part of Maine Road folklore.

P.S. Why is this thread in 'Off Topic'. A great, great City fan has passed away...should be in the main forum.

I agree. Should be in the Bluemoon City Related Forum. Mods should move it.

I am assuming there is a thread somewhere but I couldn’t see it. A Blue, sad to see him passing, there was even a time he used to deliver team talks I believe. RIP Blue
