mariokempes56 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Shit. He was a good guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiny Tim Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Sorry to read this. I always found him to be a nice guy. Two youngest daughters loved him, came up to sing to them years ago when they were wee. Always seemed to remember them and seek them out at away games even when they’d grown up. They’ll be sad to hear this too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catchart Circle Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) Sadly true as Ted Christopher posted on Facebook I was told. A true legend of the TA been travelling since the Sixties, probably longer than anyone.

Kirk Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Lovely guy, still got the sticker he gave me waiting for a train to dortmund haha. Just sorted the "man cave" in the new house will find a good place for it with the Scotland stuff. RIP Ricky . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave78 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Sad to hear this. 'Wallpaper sticks to the wall' to be sung by 50k at Hampden as a tribute (if we're ever actually allowed back into Hampden). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanderer Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Sad news. Last time I saw him was the Israel away game a few years back when he was on my Turkish Airlines flights in and out, and thought he did not have long to live even then (had to wheeled around in a wheelchair and looked very sick) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
