I had many conversations with Brian over the years.

He had an amazing memory and was always interesting and informative.

He used to take an interest in Graphic Warehouse when we were involved with the club and in later years l would often see him in Tesco at The Hythe.

We always spoke and one particular story relating to the great Lua Lua was an absolute epic.

I recall Brian playing at Layer Road for Colchester United against Cambridge United in a 5 nil victory - l think he scored twice that night.

A serious knee injury curtailed his career.

I even saw him playing for the superb Watford side at Vicarage Road in the mid to late sixties when l was just a kid.

My great pleasure to have known Brian.

A true football man, one that clubs cannot do without, a man of all trades.
I did not know him personally, but bumped into him while he was out walking the family dog. Had a great chat with him about footie, a true gentleman . Condolences to his family .

Brian was a top bloke

He was my football club physio and unfortunately had to use his services on some serious injuries as well as minor ones.

Always offered advice to me whilst I was playing and had some great stories to tell whilst having treatment.

A great loss to the football community
