This thread really is what makes lower league Football clubs & Fans SPECIAL . I applaud you all for the efforts that you are putting in. Literally brought a tear to my eye . Thanks, Puggers. People whose judgement I trust[1] tell me Tony was a Good Lad and he didn't have a happy end, so I think he deserves a bit of a fuss. [1]Mind you, one of them arranged his wedding for the day we beat Nuneaton to get promoted from the Vanarama North, so I take back what I said about his judgement...

Bumping this as it's tomorrow Thanks Dave. Janice and I are planning to be there, along with a non-football mate who lived with Tony in a shared house in Levenshulme in the 1970s.

Nice turn out of 20-odd, including a few County scarves. Think his family were touched by the County fans there. Well done again, John, for publicising this.

Has anyone got a photo they can post, I think I might know him and we're roughly the same age. This is a picture from a Stockport Express article on exiles in Bermuda in 1993.

View AttachmentThanks for that, sadly I'm quite sure it's the bloke I was thinking of but I don't remember him having a tash, do you know if he went to a lot of giggs mid to late 70s, I'm sure I used to see him at quite a few as well as at County, we always let on but I never knew his name.

Having spoken to Tony's girlfriend at the time, Margaret, he had plans to become a rock journalist in those days so I'm sure he would be at plenty of gigs.

Really good write up and definitely the bloke I remember at the Electric Circus and various other venues in the 70s, he was always at gigs and always at County then he just seemed to disappear and now I know why, R.I.P Tony.

Well done John - a very fitting article for Tony. Good of you and the other County fans to attend his funeral.
