Tokyo-Saint Posted 19 February, 2015 Share Posted 19 February, 2015 Steve Brown was a huge Southampton fan and has been buried in a special T-shirt. Southampton fan Steve Brown showed his loyalty and dedication to the club right up until the end as he was buried in a special t-shirt. Brown's funeral on Tuesday was a joyous celebration of his life and of his favourite football team, Southampton. The 55-year-old was buried in his favourite 'Saints 'Til I Die' t-shirt with many of his friends and family wearing the club's traditional red and white stripes. The grandfather of seven died after having battled an infection which was attacking his nerves, reported the Southern Daily Echo. As fan site Talk Saints said of the funeral, "Once a Saint, Always a Saint." It was the perfect way for Brown to go, according to those at the funeral, with one of his three children Sabrina telling the Southern Daily Echo that he was the "ultimate fan". "It was a lovely ceremony and everyone looks great in their Southampton colours, dad would be amazed," she said. "He was a good man and absolutely adored his team, he was Saints through and through - the ultimate fan. "His funeral is something we all want to do for him as a family to say goodbye, my dad lived for Saints and it's only right that we give him the proper send off. "Going to matches was something all the men did together, dad was always mental he was the loudest one there shouting all the songs it's hard to put into words just how much he loved them, he was so passionate and even stuck with them when they went down to League One. "As a dad he was amazing and we will all sorely miss him, he adored his grandchildren and my mum." With Southampton currently fourth in the Premier League table, Brown will have enjoyed a positive final season supporting the club he loved so much. https://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/world-of-sport/southampton-s--ultimate-fan--buried-in--saints--til-i-die--t-shirt-130756378.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
