RIP to a lifelong fan 12:56 - May 8 with 2570 views

I lost my good friend David Farr today after his long battle with cancer. He was taken to his first game by his father in 1959 and was a R for life.
He wasn't a regular poster on here but was an follower of the site and especially loved Clive's reports and previews.
The last game he was able to watch, at a local bar, was the 4-0 win over Derby and I was able to keep him updated by messages on last Saturday's win at Sunderland, which was the last time he was able to communicate with me.
He was moved into a hospice yesterday and passed peacefully during the night.
My thoughts are with his wife Janet and the rest of their family.

So sad, I lost my best friend of over 50 years just before Christmas to this awful disease.
May he RIP

PS and without meaning to sound callous I’m going a CRUK Big Hike later in the summer in his memory so I’ll be on here later with the begging bowl out.

Thanks to all of you for your support. I will show this thread to his wife at an appropriate time and hope it will be of some comfort.

Condolences to you, David and his family. Such a cruel illness but at the very least he got to see his team win against Derby and hear about the win at Sunderland. RIP David.
