Brian Tawse has just tweeted Andy Naylor that Kit Napier has died in S. Africa. A great servant to the Albion back in the day.

My first ever real life hero, probably. genuinely sad at that.

Oh that is very sad. Big part of my youth watching the Albion.

RIP Kit.

He played in the very first match I watched at the Goldstone.

RIP

And me, when someone asks me to say 1 player that was in the team when I first watched The Albion, Kit Napier is always the first player to come to mind.
A deserved round of applause at our next home match.
RIP Kit

I caught the Albion bug as a result of Kit Napier, Dave Turner, Norman Gall..... but mostly the late, great Kit. I am feeling low about this. The man is dead but the legend lives on, in our memories.

Likewise - he was in one of the first teams I saw at the Goldstone. Other players included John Napier, Brian Powney, Stewart Henderson, Wally Gould, Jimmy Collins. Fond childhood memories watching that team with my Dad.

Yep, loved watching every one of them.

Too young to remember him, but RIP to an Albion legend.
