Ed Bassford - Lord Bracknell

[Virgo's Haircut]

Such awful news. I have known Ed for many years. His kindness giving me lift to away games, and his tales of all things football will never be forgotten.

The trip I had with Ed and others to New York to meet the youngsters the REMF supported will never be forgotten.

RIP Lord B, you were one in a million.

Never met Ed, no idea who he is or the work he put in to saving the Albion, sorry.
What i do know is that his Avatar is one of the few I know by sight, was that him or just a picture? When I posted something he would always come back with sensible answers or suggestions. For being a good guy on NSC I will miss him.

 

[Barry Izbak]

Very sorry to learn this news.

It seemed to me that if there was some sort of campaign activity going on, Ed was one of the people you just knew would be there..

RIP Lord B

Sad news, RIP Ed, always enjoyed reading your posts and thanks for everything you did for the club.

A very recognisable poster and attendee at games. Very sad that he won't see the Albion in the premier league.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

I like the photo the club tweeted, of Ed raising a glass of champagne to celebrate promotion this season. Fitting.

Agree with you 100%. Though the Albion to Ed meant far far more than the Premier League, the Amex and the current sponsor and logo, as I'm sure you'd agree. Hopefully room for both photos in the Man City programme, if not on the big screens.

Ed was a lovely man. He'll be missed very, very much by all who knew him.

One in a million. RIP.

Very Sad. Knew him mainly from his postings on here but would see him occasionally on the North Stand Concourse. Thanks for all he did and thoughts are with his family.

same here, rest in peace LB

The last time I saw the noble Lord was at the Victory Parade. A proper Albion person through and through. Remember delivering Seagulls Party leaflets for him when he stood for Lewes District Council

I am very sad but will raise a glass of Harvey's to him soon.

 

[Muhammad - I’m hard - Bruce Lee]

Genuinely one of the most honest, decent and all round nicest blokes I've ever met. Sleep well my friend.
Thoughts are with Roz and all his family

Whilst we are much poorer for his passing, we are all much richer for him being in our lives.

Im so proud to have worked with him for many years.

Christopher wren at st pauls and richard russell (the founder of brighton as a seaside resort) bit have the legend 'if you seek his monument, look around you'. On 12th august we can all look around the falmer stadium and think that of Ed

Eliot's closing words of Middlemarch apply so well. "...for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs."

The growing good of the Albion owes so much to Ed

Very sad news, RIP.

 

[Surrey_Albion]

Very sad news,will be missed. Thoughts to all of Lord Bracknell's friends and family

 

[Alonso Moseley]

RIP, sad news.

 

[Paul Reids Sock]

Such sad news. I saw on Twitter earlier and he was one of the very few posters on here that I would recognise despite never having met him properly

RIP Ed, thank you for everything you have done for our club.

 

[BN9 BHA]

RIP.
Sorry to hear this very sad news.

RIP. Remember meeting up with Ed when one of his leaflet distributions took place, in I believe I remember correctly, Ringmer. He organised us troups and I know most of the residents we met said they wanted the new stadium and Lewes LDC were wrong in trying to block the plans. Top man.
