R.I.P staffie. I've not been around for a few days and just picked up this tragic news. I never met the great man, but, like loads of others, he selflessly helped me out lots of times and his links were invaluable. A true gent and a massive loss to the Palace community. Thanks for everything.

It's quite some time since I posted on HOL, mainly due to a severe lack of available time. I am saddened to read this morning of staffie's passing. Part of the HOL furniture, and the fact that so many have posted tributes and condolences says a great deal about what he did, what he was to people, and that being an Eagle isn't just about following the club we all love. CPFC Family. And I suspect he would be very humbled by the amount of posts for him. It's a place on the HOL that will likely never be filled so may I also take this opportunity to thank him for everything he did, and leave my utmost respects to someone who genuinely was CPFC Family. staffie, may you Rest In Peace sir.

I can only echo everything being said on this post about the Great Man. Totally shocked to read of his passing. Will I ever know who he really was? I hope so. He is already greatly missed.

Posted straight after hearing the news of your passing, but felt I had to do again. Still hurting mate, even though I only knew you via private messages. Not looking forward to your absents on Saturday. It just won't be the same again. God Bless you staffie.

Isn't this a little early for gold talk? There will be HOLers who will miss the thread, I suggest it's better in Palace talk until after the Hull game.

Part of the reason why I moved it here was there was another topic now in Palace Talk to raise money in staffie's honour - I've added a link to this topic at the top of that topic - to point people in the right direction! I'm sure it's what staffie would have wanted, no duplicate threads in Palace Talk - boy am I going to miss his help

I just wanted to lift the mood slightly, if I may. I recall staffie bemoaning the fact he couldn't get a PO final ticket for Watford. When I said I had a 'spare' he could have, he nearly ripped my arm off. And when Kevin Phillips smashed the penalty into the back of the Watford net, he had a smile so intense, it looked liked it had been chiselled into his face. So many man-hugs with total strangers. Happy Days

I've only just found out about this and am struggling to believe it. Sounds stupid but I always liked the sense of stability his posts brought to the site...there would always be links, always be a team line-up and they would always...ALWAYS be in the same format. I am missing it already, RIP to the great man and the best contributor this site has ever had.

Is this a five minute argument, or the full half hour? [Link] |
