Sad Day

[spyinthesky]

For me

 

A good pal and a real nice bloke, who supported the Saints for over 50 yrs, passed away unexpectedly.

 

He took his grandson to the Sheff Weds game last Sat and will no doubt be looking down on us with a smile on his face that the last game he saw was a Saints win with his beloved grandson

 

We sat together at St Marys since day 1 and previously stood underneath the East Stand

 

We also went to away games good and bad and often laughed about the 7-1 hiding at Watford for a number of reasons.

 

He will be up there now demanding promotion whilst very much concerned about the loved ones he has left behind for the moment.

 

DONT LET HIM DOWN!!!

Always sad to hear. RIP mate, and sorry for your loss.

Very sad news, least the last game he saw was us win.

 

RIP

I was another of those who happened to be at Vicarage Road in 1980 ! There were not many of us I recall RIP fellow Saints fan.

Sad news indeed but a lasting memory for the grandson who will know that grandad loved him.

 

Rest In Peace fellow Saints fan.

Sorry to hear that-RIP. As said at least his last game was a win, his grandson should treasure that Lambert goal for the rest of his life and let's hope he continues his grandfather's legacy for another 50 years.

Over 50 years a Saint.... He will be guaranteed a front row seat in the biggest executive box

 

RIP fella, I suspect you just ensured another 50 years at least of family support.

[rallyboy]

taking his grandson was a great way to hand on the passion of supporting our team whether they be highs or lows.

 

Always a Saint.

Chin up fella and remember the many great times (Watford away excluded) you must have shared together.

 

Always sad to lose someone close to you, so my thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

I'm sure his grandson will treasure that last trip for the rest of his days..

Always sad to hear of a Saint passing away. R.I.P to him and hope he is able to look upon on us with a smile come 16:45 on May 7th.

I was another of those who happened to be at Vicarage Road in 1980 ! There were not many of us I recall RIP fellow Saints fan.

 

I remember there being more than few next to the home fans and that I got bitten by a police dog during an (ahem) altercation with some of them when a fence came down.

 

RIP to Spy's mate.

Not much more to say thats not been said already - I hope I am able to take my Grandson to see Saints (his Dad's a fan too but has to work Saturdays), but I've got a few years yet to wait. RIP fellow Saint - never good to lose one of ours, but at least he's left a legacy with his Grandson.
