What sad news - RIP Blade.
Life can seem really unfair at times & with a young family, this is one of those times.
Fought very bravely to the end. Top guy who’ll be sadly missed.

Jeez, that damn illness, sorry for your loss, thoughts with family and friends x

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Many of us knew this was coming, but it makes it no less tragic. Loved his honest, insightful posts on the MH thread, his joy at a Wednesday loss and all those building site stories featuring the infamous bucket character. Lots of memories, but the one that stays with me is the determination he had to take his little girl to her first day at school. He did it and we shared that triumph. Go well young fella!

[Yellarbellyblade]

I didn’t know him other than through this forum but very sad news for his family and friends

 

[Bath Blade]

What sad news. I remember him mentioning the diagnosis a while back but I had no idea how far along it was. He’ll be missed.

 

[Digs blade]

Awful news loved his posts

RIP Blade

RIP Ainsley. Sounds like one of his daughters is the same age as mine. Cruel illness to steal away their dad like that. He always seemed a good lad and a top contributor on here. Sending love to all his family.

RIP Matt, hope you had a chuckle at the other side of the city from whatever the alternative Shoreham Street happens to be.

 

[bulmer]

Only just found out about this spoke to him a few weeks ago to tell him about SBT passing away and he said he had exceeded the docs expectations its still crushing when it happens though Matt was so full of life and vigour and is a sad loss to all those who knew him but especially his wife and 2 kids

RIP Matt another gone too soon

Condolences to you and yours, Greeny96.

Rest in peace, Matt. (It's nice to know your name). Your strength and humour in facing this fight were truly inspirational. You live on through your girls and I don't think we'll ever forget you here.

Matt didn't care what people posted he just wanted positive things said and happy photos.

His kids, wife and Sheffield United were his

A last photo here of one of Matts last appearances at BTDBL with one of his daughters.

One friend ill never forget x

 

[EddieColquhoun]

Condolences to his family.
I loved his post about whilst having a dump he would email the EFL about Chancer’s shenanigans. The subsequent points deduction saw the Pigs relegated.
RIP.

 

[Kevin Arnott]

That's truly beautiful. RIP mate.

 

[Inter_blade83]

RIP Ains. Loved swapping wife stories on the thread and hearing about bucket ****. Hits home when we have daughters the same age.

You'll be missed. X

 

[Aston max]

Rip and my thoughts to his family, cancer is the worst fucking disease it just doesn't pick who it takes, I was caught in 2014 "prostate"

 

[SirNibletsO'Korne]

Really sad news this. Didn't know him,but you felt like you did.
He'll be very sadly missed on here.

 

[Maurice Maurice]

Reading his account of his illness was incredibly sad and I hope he's at peace now, wherever that may be. It's strange as you knew this was never going to have a happy ending but you hope to the very last for the miracle that sadly didn't come.

RIP fella, prayers and condolences to your loved ones

 

[Original United]

Wow that photo -never met him and in tears.

Well done to the S6 lot losing 4-0 for you.

[Jon Bon II]

RIP Matt. Will genuinely miss you on here Ains. I have no words. Condolences to all your friends and to your wonderful family.

 

[Gin&Juice]

What a man. What a brave journey, but the way he handled and was so open and honest on here. He should be an inspiration to everyone. His posts about what wound him up and his comical Wednesday posts, even when he was suffering.

RIP
