Often stuck behind his lorries on the drive to away matches back in the day. A national feature. RIP.

Nice words Ian, beautifully articulated….

Rather odd this has just been 'announced' in the media - it was news up here almost two weeks ago ago. I liked this drawing

Sad news. I loved playing Eddie Spotting up and down the motorways back in the day.

At Eddie’s insistence, his drivers were always immaculately turned out in shirts and ties.

RIP Eddie.

Its breaking news on the Sun and Mail websites today.

He reached the end of the road.

Around 20-25 years ago @Bwian told me he used the number and direction of travel of Stobart vehicles to get a prediction of the away game score.

(I preferred to use my magic 'lucky' darts.)

A third of a lifetime away...

Nice words Ian, beautifully articulated….

He put a lorry thought into that.

RIP Eddie.

I used to look out for 'Jenny Wren'. One woman, had driving an Eddie, on her bucket list, so he allowed a vehicle to go into Plymouth dockyard so she could drive it for ten minutes.
A lovely man.

Once attended an RTC where one of his trucks had shed 22 pallets of Vicks VapoRub across all three lanes of the M11.

There was no congestion for 12 hours.

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

Did he just Keele over?

Trucking hell , it took 3 weeks to make the daily newspapers.

 

[lawros left foot]

Aren’t they making a film of his life?


I think I’ve seen the trailer.

Around 20-25 years ago @Bwian told me he used the number and direction of travel of Stobart vehicles to get a prediction of the away game score.

That explains all of our 34 - 46 type score lines in the northern part of the country during the late 90’s.

A deeply religious man.
