What terribly sad news
BG was an absolute legend on NSC
We will certainly miss him, his transfer rumours and his constant quest to get to grips with modern technology !
Three points on Saturday would be a fitting tribute
RIP BG

Up to Brian's family, of course, as they'd know his thoughts best - but FWIW, I'm fairly certain from his posts over the years, when such tributes have been made, that he did NOT approve of them.

Bloody hell. Really sorry to hear that. Always read his posts with a smile, they were extraordinary at times. Lovely post by you to advise of his passing and really good to hear he didn't take the responses to heart. I hope the funeral goes as well as these things can. He'll be missed, part of NSC folklore

So sorry for your loss and RIP Brian. Despite all the ribbing I don't recall him ever being rude. A true gentleman.

RIP BG, always amused, often disagreed, but a pleasure to post with. Enjoy that great stadium in the sky, and contact us if you have problems getting in!

So very sad RIP BG
Really shocked when I heard the news, BG was one of those people that you thought would just go on forever.
I, like I suspect many others, tend to skim read NSC these days. He was one of the posters that if I saw had started a thread, I dived straight in. He divided opinion and got an awful lot of stick, but it was like water off a ducks back to him. He was never abusive and genuinely loved our football club. I was like a moth to a flame whenever I saw a ‘technical help required’ thread started by him, he was priceless!. He will certainly be hugely missed.
Condolences to all his family
RIP old fella.
For your sake, I hope the gate to heaven hasn’t got an entry code...St Peter will be pulling his hair out.

So sad to hear of his passing, can't say as I always saw eye to eye with him but how boring would NSC be if we all agreed with one another all of the time, he certainly enjoyed his time on here as the number of posts vouches for and I'd like to think all of us who regularly contribute on here played a little part in some happiness in his life.
RIP, really sad news.
BG loved to go fishing when he visited here from what I saw. Some might even call it "trolling" in this internet world we leave in ... but if so, he was generally a benign and friendly troll and happily took as good as he gave out. NSC will definitely be a different place without him.

First of all my condolences to his Wife, Brother, Family and friends. It seems very sudden - as I know he was posting on here on Sunday.
This is quite a shock - I was only looking at his post on the 'Team for Palace' thread and thinking that's not a bad side.
Always with an opinion, sometimes we agreed, sometimes we didn't but anyone who had watched as many BHA games and much football as he had should have their opinion respected.
A true Albion fan and a NSC legend, he will be sorely missed on here.
RIP Brian.

I post very rarely, but feel moved to post a tribute to BG. I felt compelled to read his posts, loving his naivety, honesty and complete lack of malice.
And not forgetting he also liked Brighton quite a bit too....
Sorry but I couldn't resist continuing the NSC in joke about his fondness for that other blue and white team in his memory.
Sad news indeed...
This forum will be less entertained without him, that's for sure!
We used to speak 'off air' about allotment gardening fairly regularly and I found BG to be a genuinely nice bloke.
He could have filled that vacant spot at left back himself and talked the right winger into having a sh1t game I reckon.
My thoughts are with all concerned at this very sad time.
RIP BG. Enjoy the garden in the sky mate.

RIP BG, his posts always stood out for me (maybe because I use to live in HH). Hope Brighton stuff palace on Saturday, would be a fitting tribute.
