Ill always remember him..

RIP Tony.

That is dreadful news. My God - I can't believe it. I did not know he was ill. Would like to think the club will recognise this at the last home game of the season.

Does rather put things into perspective.

It did not take me long to forgive you for replacing one of my all time Albion hero's you were a hero in your own right
that really is the saddest news
RIP Tony

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Very sad. A proper player.

Rest in Peace.


Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

That's a real shame. I have two very clear memories of him: the Wembley headband of course, and possibly the worst miss I have ever seen (in front of the North stand - lifted the ball over the bar from what looked like virtually the goal line). Really good player in a very special Albion side.

 

[Barrow Boy]

So sad, saw him have many great games for the Albion.
RIP Tony.

 

[Curious Orange]

56 is no age. Very sad to hear.

 

[Tooting Gull]

That is very sad news indeed, one of my favourite players from that era and no age to go.

Deepest condolences to family and friends, RIP Tony
