Andy Magrath was a Brighton fan living in Woodiingdean. He died on 12th August whilst on holiday in Spain. He was 37, married with two children. It was a heart attack.

I met Andy whilst queuing up for tickets for Cardiff and got chatting during the hours of waiting.
He went on the Seagulls Special with us and also met up for the Victory Parade.
A great sense of humour and I know one or two of you met him as well.

He has already had a funeral service in Spain but his family are having a memorial service here in Sussex

Here are the details:-

Here as promised are the details of Andy's memorial service: Celebration of Andys life
Sunday 5th September at 5pm,
at St Philips Church,
New Church Road, Hove.
(corner of Richardson Rd)
Everyone welcome. If anyone would like to speak as a representative of Brighton and Hove Albion, please leave a message on website. (the official message board)

No flowers, but donations payable to British Heart Foundation, c/o Kate Lewis,106 The Greenways, Ovingdean, BN2 7BL.

It would be great if some Brighton fans were there, and Andy would love it they wore they Brighton colours.

Terrible news.
But I guess he went out on a high, with the memories of Cardiff and the holiday.
RIP mate.

That is very scary - only a year older than me. I really feel for the family he has left behind. RIP Andy

Tragic news. Whilst I didn't know him, I recognise him from the photo, so have obviously seen him around.

Big thoughts to his family, particularly his kids. That's far too young for a dad to die.

A shockingly young age.

Makes you think about your own mortality. Lets beat Rovers tonight for Andy.
