Yesterday ,12th August . Was a sad,but ultimately Joyful day.
A great turn out for the service of Karl Marples.
A Blue, and a friend of mine.
It was at Brimmington Crematorium, Chesterfield,Derbyshire ,England.
A great turn out ,loads of Blue shirts...Sun was beating down , there were men there who didn't even like football or City,...wearing a City top.
For Karl. My mate.
Rest in Peace.
And thanks to Chesterfield Blues for a really great day
I am so sorry I'll never see your face again,and skake your hand
