[Mr Putdown]

Very sad to read this, I was only joshing with him yesterday about the palace strikers.

RIP BG, your ‘unique’ postings will be sorely missed on here.

[BUTTERBALL]

Very sad news. RIP BG.

 

[Ozymandias86]

Others have already said as much, but it’s characters like BG and their quirks (Matt Derbyshire, Omsung Phine et al) that keep the chatter going - RIP BG - you’ll be missed!

 

[Raphael Meade]

Incredibly sad news, a real character of NSC and the Albion. Didn't know him but always enjoyed reading his posts and the ensuing melee. Many condolences to the family and his friends

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Commiserations to his family, he’ll be sorely missed on here. RIP BG

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

That's really sad news. I had a lot of time for him. He got a lot of stick for his posts but some of them were very astute.

My condolences to all who knew and were close to him. NSC will be a poorer place without him.

We used to sit behind him at Withdean, so for two decades he really has been part of the Albion scenery for us. What a tribute this thread is proving to be.

 

[Swansman]

I'm new here compared to most, yet found him irreplaceable in his own, completely unique, irreplaceable way. Going to be missed. Sorry for your loss.

BG was the opposite of dull.

Often profoundly entertaining, whether he was in his contrarian mode or his ‘how does that work’ frame of mind.

He was the most readable poster on NSC.

He clearly adored the football club and obviously had a huge impact on most people he met.

He had me in tears a number of times with some of his outrageous posts and threads but sadly, he has done the same to me tonight for a different emotion, sadness.

RIP

[melias shoes]

Sad news. I loved the way he could wind up quite a few on here. RIP Ben's Grandad.

 

[DavePage]

Heart felt condolences, always fun to watch the banter.

 

[timbha]

Bet he’s already flummoxed St Peter. RIP BG

 

[WATFORD zero]

RIP BG, a huge character on NSC.

We didn't always agree (but did occasionally), however he always treated NSC with a healthy dose of humour and irreverence and never bore a grudge.

Very sad news and condolences to all his family.
