A sad, sad loss - Sibs (Lee White)

[um pahars]

If you know Southampton, then you surely knew Sibley.

Sad to hear that our dear fellow Saints fan Lee White (Sibley) has passed away. From St Mary’s to The Dell (to Zorbas), Sibs was a huge face on the local scene.

Cheeky grin, infectious personality and time for everyone. 
 

A true mush, RIP fella xx

Fuck. Decent guy. Remember him. After a game against someone, might have been Cardiff or Bristol A couple of their Lads giving it some after them winning, just singing and that, but really annoying for us. He suddenly stops, turns round and says “you’ve had your day out, now fuck off home”, they shut the fuck up, there and then. 
didn't really know him  aside from the respectful nod and alright but seemed like a decent fella

Top mush. Lots of happy memories on the Archers and under the East as well as spending Sunday afternoons watching ISC. RIP Sibs.

I didn't know him but remember that incident when walking to the Northam Tunnel - I think it was after we'd been mugged by Villa....Condolences to the family, sad to lose a family member at any time but this is particularly cruel.

Remember Lee mostly from Zorba's. The late night drunken cr@p he had to put up with there was always entertaining.

Very sad news, Sibs was a top lad and a proper Sotonian. Not enough characters like him about. RIP.

haha, it was along Britannia Road, but feel sure that wasn't the first and last time, so no doubt yours was actually a different time.

I didn't know him but sounds like a decent chap from those who did. At least he lived to see us sitting on top of the Premier League. RIP.

[Turkish]

Didn't know him that well but a good guy, always around on the Saints scene, a proper Southampton lad. Sad news.

Too young, RIP Sibs.

I knew Lee. As kids went tent sliding at Southampton Show. He fell off and broke his arm the daft sod. Hadn’t seen him for years.

Does anyone know how he died?

Go back 30 odd years and he was a regular like me in goblets and doing his zorbas stuff.

He can only be early 50s  im guessing cancer ?

Indeed cancer it was.

[Puddings and Monkeys]

Knew him just to say "alright mush" in pubs and at games.  A great Saints lad; crazy, fearless and funny.  So sad.

Heard that myself, assuming we’re talking the same Darrell (not sure where he hailed from). Another staunch ‘Southampton Lad’ and brings back memories of when we stopped off early doors at fratton on the way to Brighton in the 80s as the 657 had sent word they’d be waiting for us. I think he was first off the train but, alas, they must have had a change of heart.

RIP

Countess Mountbatten, certainly a worthy cause. Gave great care to one of my relatives in the latter stages of his life.
