Sad to report that Jock (surname Bannerman I think) has died. Believe he was late 50s. No details but his mate called round this morning and found him.

I’ve known Jock for donkey’s years and for a few seasons he sat a couple of rows in front of me with Pete Hodson, who also passed away, and a third mate Spider.

Jock travelled to away games quite often with Rossy Clarets.

Another committed Claret has left us. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

Andrew "Jock" Bannerman, RIP

This comes as as shock as I saw him about 08:15 on Thursday morning.

Finished my night shift and had an 08:20 appointment at the doctors. Jock was sat in the waiting room. As I was straight in for my appointment I didn't get chance to speak to him.

Always sad to hear of the death of a fellow claret. RIP Jock.

Thoughts are with family and friends.

That’s really sad.
Jock was a great bloke with a wicked sense of humour.
Sleep well big fella.

Not seen him at an away game this season I don’t think but a shock when I was told this afternoon. Good lad was Jock.

Jock features in many of my memories of away trips with Selwyn back in the 80s, as does Pete Hodson, including a trip to Hartlepool with Keith Rigby where we all got in for free.

Quite a shock to think that I'm the only one left. Scandalous, as Pete would say.

Jock followed us home and away when the club hit its lowest point.

He is part of the club’s history

Rest in Peace Jock lad

Such sad news to hear
RIP Jock

Jock and his mate Spider were regulars in the early days of the Boundary Clarets..born out of the members coach. We often used to pick them up just off the sliproad of the M62 at Milnrow. Big lad..big sense of humour. Always recall the time he fell in the aisle on the coach and couldn't get up as he was wedged in. RIP Jock.

Had many away day including a weekends in Belfast & Blackpool with jock, sad sad loss with great memories. RIP big lad.

I always remember Jock's choice reaction as he headed for half time refreshment one game during the 1997/98 season.

He thought a chant of "Waddle Out!" was directed at him...

Yes sad news. My condolences to all the family.

Had some great trips with Jock, Burnley and England. Only last week saw him in Walsden Cricket Club and was in good spirits. You will be sorely missed.RIP mate.

Thanks NIDGE 65

Please have your thoughts with Jock's family & friends today - funeral as above followed by committal at Burnley Crematorium at 3pm.

Don't think I know him but as with many long standing Clarets, I would probably know him by sight. Thoughts with his family and friends this afternoon. RIP fellow Claret.

Was he under the doctor long term, or has his doctor missed something?

Really good turnout for Jock and even a letter from Burnley Football Club read out. Won’t seem the same playing home or away with Jock not there.

RIP

Glad to hear that. Afraid I had to be in work all day.

That's why us old ones turn up - some people there I haven't seen for a while too. Gave him a good send off.

RIP To a fellow Claret..

Only just picked this up. very sad to read this as I shared many an away trip with Jock and Pete in the 80s and 90s (in the days when we all went by train). As someone up the thread said ...he was there when things were tough.

This was the big lad for those of you who were wondering.
A good send off yesterday for Jock, very nice service and a few laughs along the way.
RIP JOCK
