It's with real sadness that I share the news that Andy (@seagullwedgee) passed away this week, following a battle with mental illness.
He'd been following the Albion for over 50 years and has been a regular both home and away for a lot of that time.
For those of us who knew him personally, he was the greatest of friends and the kindest of men. Always going out of his way to support others when they were struggling or going through difficulties.
As well as being kind and caring, he was terrific company and some of my greatest memories following the Albion have him at the core.
Rest easy, mate. I hope you've the found the peace we've all desperately tried to help you with over the last couple of years.
Mental illness continues to be a bastard. Tell your friends and family you love them. You never know when you won't get the chance to say it anymore.
We all found out the news yesterday, so for us to win 4-0 against a team at the bottom of the league (something we know the Albion struggle with so much) AND score a rare set piece goal definitely makes me think we need to put his name in the assist column.
