[NSC] Remembering Lord Bracknell

[Bry Nylon]

Two years today since the legendary Ed Bassford, aka Lord Bracknell passed. Still miss his unique contributions, insight and cutting humour. A great man, deeply missed.

With love to Roz and the family if they happen to pass this way.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Still greatly missed on NSC.

Still greatly missed on NSC.

Very much so

 

[Mr Putdown]

He was a great guy in real life as well.

 

[Beach Hut]

Very sad day when Ed died, RIP and love to all the family

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

He was a great guy in real life as well.

Do you mean that NSC isn't real life?

But yes, certainly just about the most sensible, knowledgable and informed poster on this board. Love the way his name reamains as a site moderator too, a nice touch l think.

 

[The Oldman]

Missed greatly.

 

[Nobby]

A very lovely guy, missed on this board and at the Albion.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

2 years .. damn, greatly missed

Whenever the latest shitstorm over the Falmer planning saga erupted in the Argus, Ed was always here to calmly dissect and interpret it, and give us the real meaning and inside track on it all. His wise, erudite and sage scribings on NSC were and are irreplaceable. A genuinely lovely man who I was lucky enough to meet several times. Yup, he will always be missed.

Can only echo what [MENTION=70]Easy 10[/MENTION] has said above. Ed was a genuinely lovely man. He is sorely missed by so many.

Smashing bloke, met him a few (too few) times at the cricket, in various pubs and even at the football once in a while.

Much missed but never forgotten.

Again, couldn't agree more.

He is greatly missed, and as one of the first regulars on the old form of nsc he quite rightly has a place in the rich tapestry that this message board has wrought. He bought quality assurance to every aspect of his work herein, and played a significant role in keeping the exiles (like me) informed of developments re our survival, future and other stuff too. He was quick witted, even handed, forgiving and quite simply a genuine legend herein.

This board has missed him, as have I, I will always remember him from afar (I doubt he knew nor cared re my admiration), but it exists nonetheless.

Was speaking to a friend of his and Ros at work last week. Sadly missed x

[Blue3]

Was alway the NSC contributor I would look for look for if any sensible answer, still missed

 

[Ernest]

Still sadly missed on here

 

[Nottseagull]

Such a shame he never saw us play in the PL.
He also missed out on Newport County's last two giant - killing seasons in the FA Cup. I was thinking about him only the other day when I saw that Newport had won 8-1 at Weston-super-Mare.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

He would be loving the ongoing Albion and Newport roller coaster.

And as for the Sussex batting this season....
