I loved your dad. Can’t believe it’s eight years ago. Proper gent and always stopped me every time I saw him at the game.

Only played football for him for a season or so but easily my favourite manager I played for along with my own dad.

Great sense of humour and a proper football man and a decent bloke.
He was always a fan of you. As ever thanks for the kind words. Will never forget your letter after he passed away.

There are so many things that I miss about my dad. Every Saturday he used to ring me with the result (which I sometimes pretended I didn't know) and gave his "unbiased" view, usually that we were robbed (again) because he'd listened on radio Blackburn and they must be right.
Also sending me cuttings from Monday's newspapers.
Miss you Dad, especially when the phone doesn't ring at the final whistle. UTC forever.

When 'Times Like These' rings out over the P.A. System and that Video gets played showing the old teams, it always brings a lump to my throat as I used to go on with my Dad, Brother and Uncle. But lost Dad and Brother in 1988, So when I had a season ticket recently, I drove the 100 miles on my own, sat next to strangers, and drove home alone without having any football banter. One of the main reasons I don't have a season ticket today.

Get yourself an ST in the JHL Block 5 row J,K or L seat c120 and my brother and I will be glad to banter with you every game icu81b4. We are all Clarets together.
