Deserves it. Great lad.

 

[Silent Blade]

He played in the same Greenhill u11s team as my son. Nice lad and a very good footballer. His dad allocated me a parking space at his work in Doncaster when the Blades were playing at Doncaster in Sept 2008.

RIP TC

 

[Blad]

God bless you Tom

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Tragic news. RIP fellow Blade.

I wonder if they’ve shared this with the Swansea fans? From experience most rival fans get on board with this too

Swansea have posted about it themselves on Twitter encouraging their fans to get behind it. Classy gesture.
