67th minute Tony Langridge.

[Dave the OAP]

Hi folks

Just thought I would let you know that Lynn, Tony's wife was sat in Tony's seat today, next to me and at half time, Katherine and Kelly joined her( thanks for moving up guys).

Before the game, we said how appropriate it would be if we scored in the 67th minute and blimey, we did just that.

It was extremely emotional around us with people going mad celebrating the first equaliser and then clapping along and seeing Tony's beaming face on the main screen.

Thanks all of you who clapped along and I know it meant so much to the family.

As some of you know , tony was my best friend and his passing has really made us think just how precious and ultimately short life is. It will be very strange not having him next to me, having sat with him for the best part of 10 years and playing in golf society matches for much longer than that. Today felt very emotional but the reaction from the brighton fans was magnificent.

Thanks once again.

All the best to you all

Dave.

 

[timbha]

an appropriate send off. RIP Tony.

Dave - you've lost a good friend but have so many good memories.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Very true mate

 

[EDS]

Very pleased a goal was scored on 67 minutes, brilliantly fitting.
RIP and sincere condolences to family and friends.

 

[glasfryn]

I heard the applause, appropriately when we scored ...........wonderful tribute to a true supporter

 

[brightonbaz]

I still can't believe he ain't about but to score on the 67th minute was fantastic. Tony was looking down and must be credited with an assist!!

 

[BBassic]

R.I.P.

A fitting tribute.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

What lovely people the Langridge family are, with a generosity of spirit that is really uplifting. It was so good to meet up with them in Dick's Bar before the game.

And a special goal to remember Tony by.

 

[The Oldman]

It was Tony's goal. I hope today has helped to ease the loss for family and friends.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

It was very fitting, from the players and the fans. I'm glad his family were able to enjoy it.

Second everything Lord B said.

Warmest wishes to Tony's lovely family who were beyond generous in their conversation with us before the game.

I refuse to believe it was coincidental that the goal came in the 67th minute too! I'll always remember it as a finely timed goal for a very fine friend.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Fantastic that we scored in the 67th minute. How good was THAT by way of tribute!

 

[wellquickwoody]

It was Tony's goal.

What a great way to remember someone by.

As said before, condolences and sympathies to friends and family of a man who inspired many others.

 

[Fat Langers]

Couldn't believe it was in the 67th minute!
At 66 mins I had a feeling we were going to score and couldn't believe we did.
I had no idea the club were going to put that picture up. From where I was sitting it was lovely to hear the crowd applause when it did though.
Trust the old man to pull something like that out of the bag!!

 

[Braders]

loving the fact around us it was a standing ovation

fantastic

 

[Hyperion]

Was a very fitting tribute to score when we did. Even more so, scored by a local lad. Amazing what fate does sometimes

 

[cpfc remf captain]

Even i celebrated that goal today. Typical Tony, probably didn't want all the attention of a whole minutes applause so got his message a cross in a far better way.

Most importantly, we are glad that you and his wife thought it a fitting tribute. Can't have been easy for you. RIP

I couldn't believe it myself either, I'm a very cynical person by nature, I was looking at the scoreboard from the 64th minute just waiting to applause , great scenes. And the piece in the programme was good too. Spent some time with @FatLangers before and after the game and as hard as it was going to his first game without his dad he did a great service to Tony and I'm glad, today was more of a good remembrance rather than mourning.

Even though it was sad it also strangely enjoyable, has been a pleasure and even though I feel a sad writing this I don't feel upset, just grateful I suppose, he was a top bloke .

Dave I've sat here thinking how best to respond to this But all I can say how honoured I was to be there
Today making room for the girls and then sharing in the moment as we equalised
Another fine memory to add to our rich roller coaster Albion history
