My Dad - A True Blade

In my mind, you and your dad shared good times and, as you said, rye humour.

Remember those good times and smile a lot as you think of your dad. It has helped me over the past 59 years.

Sympathy and deep condolences to you and all your family and friends.

It is with a heavy heart I have to announce that the man responsible for making me support United, my dad, has finally lost his battle and died peacefully at 10 o'clock this morning. You'll be glad to know that as he lay on his bed having gasped his last, I laid my Blades scarf across his chest, and not for the first time, a red and white scarf had to dry my tears. He might have had "a family of idiots!" (the London Blades' favourite quote of his when I told the tale of how he had to come and pick me up from near Peterborough on the A1 very early on Christmas Morning in 1989) but he did a pretty good job of making me the person I am, for good or for bad, and I am so proud that he is my dad. He also managed to touch the lives of everyone he came into contact with, as those who listened to his wry observations at Bramall Lane will testify. I am already missing the phone calls after we've lost which missed out all pleasantries and introductions and got straight to the point - "Were they rubbish?" View attachment 48526

Family of Idiots...it sounds like your Dad had a great sense of humour GB...According to my wife,I'm also an idiot.
Sorry for your loss,RIP.
 
Sorry to hear this. My thoughts are with you.
I know words don't mean a lot at this time, but as others have said, it does get easier over the years.
I still think of my old man who passed away in 2003, the man responsible for introducing me into a lifelong love affair with the Red and White Wizards.
RIP fellow Blade.

The first match your dad took you to, Treasure your memories! Also his assist for John Matthews' stunning equaliser against Cambridge!

Still think John Hope should've done better with the equaliser.

In time, I will write up the full story of my dad's assist for John Matthews' thunderbolt.
 
Condolences GB.

Hope he's up there chuntering about the prospect of Saturday with other sadly departed Blades.
 
So very sorry to hear your dad passed away Greenwich, there isn’t much one can say at times like this.
My thoughts are with you and your family.
 



My deepest sympathies Greenwich. Never met you but feel I know you from your eulogy.
Lost my Dad and best friend 21 years ago. Miss him still and think of him every day.
Our club is a conduit to him still and gives me great comfort as I just know it will you.
God bless.

Total respect. R IP TOP man
 
RIP Blade. Condolences Greenwich.

There'll be times and fleeting moments at the Lane when you remember your Dad. A certain part of the ground that will stir a memory of being with him.

Sad but comforting to know he's still with you at that moment.

Sorry to hear your sad news, Greenwich.

Sincerest condolences to you and the family.
 
Our thoughts are with you and your family, hope he sleeps peacefully.
Atleast the lucky sod won't have to hear anymore about bloody Brexit!
RIP.
 
Remember, we all have to go through this at some point.
You're lucky to have to fond memories of what sounds like a great fella. Stay strong, love and best wishes to you and your family.
