Lance (Canarian Seagull), RIP

[Dick Knights Mumm]

R.I.P. to a man who simply was larger than life.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Thank you for taking the trouble to let us know.
Well liked? Yes, the man was loved by all who met him.

After that NSC sponsored game I passed out in the back of my car, after I eventually found it.

Still, I fared better than some.Tom Hark Preston Park (who posted back then as Anne on a Mouse) tells the story of the deep gouge in his front door - made by his key as he slid down the door whilst attempting to open the lock.

A day with Lance was a day never to be forgotten, except it was usually impossible to remember.

RIP Lance

RIP legendary Lance - tho only knowing the geezer briefly from that astoundingly drunken NSC sponsored match, it would not surprise me in the least if he'd 'done a canoeman'. And I mean that in an affectionate way. Never ever seen anybody exhibit such a high level of GLEE at blagging an extra round of desserts at the sponsors meal

The deep gouge in the front door is still there BTW. Permanent reminder of a hazily remembered session. A gouge of PRIDE!

Raising a glass to you mate, wherever you are

 

[Mr Banana]

I'm just about to go and get shitfaced on London Pride and do some shoddy womanising in honour of Uncle Lance. RIP

 

[Man of Harveys]

I'm going to give this a bit of a bouncey in happy remembrance of the much-missed old fella.

As it has been bounced, I met him a few times at Withdean. Top bloke. I hope people remember me like that one day (but please not for a long time yet!).
