hi Oakie he was 75 , he had lung cancer and a terminal diagnosis , but it wasn't the "predicted " end so we are awaiting PM at the moment. He was still coming to all home games club let his wife Val my cousin in close to the ground by car to drop him off, but until last few months he came on the train from Heald Green.

Sorry to hear he suffered bumble,but sometimes it is for the better.I`ve seen very close family and friends suffer with cancer and honestly at times had it been a dog or a horse suffering,the poor thing would have been put down.
A horrible horrible disease mate.What a guy though still able to attend home games.Hope he has a great send off as he seems to deserve it,bumble.
Has he asked for Blue Moon to be played as I`ve been to a fair few over the past few years and it always seems to be one for any true blue ?

RIP Blue

dont want to stray from the thread, but there was a city fan my dad used to sit next to in the east stand , he's been going for 50 years and he hadn't seen any city games in that time as he's blind, he passed away the other week. horrible to hear when any city fans passes away

 

[FanchesterCity]

He would have been on the row behind me, and half a dozen seats away. 75 years of support is some going!
RIP
