Your never forgotten Dad..................

Fri May 18, 2012 10:11 am

Just wanted to pay a little tribute to my Dad on here.
Passed away 9 yrs ago today in his flat in City Road, Cardiff. Few days before we beat QPR at the Millenium in the play off final,which he was going to :( He did so much for me and my sister.
Cant thank him enough for making me a Bluebird either.................Two things I`ll never forget.....

A kickabout with Ron Healey at Ninian Park.. :ayatollah:

And pissed off a few neighbours with his garage painting skills...........

I am sure there is a place is heaven where your dad is sat with mine
talking about Cardiff City in a Bluebird Bar in the Sky.

Great tribute to your dad mate, love the garage door.

And of course, as always, all I can say to those with parents still alive, is make the most
of them whilst you got them... :cry:

I thought my Dad was magic, and I still do. Would have been 100 next Friday, sadly he ran out of Fergie time at 94 :old:

Great pics.

Best thing I ever did was come back to South Wales after living amongst the heathen for 30 years :ayatollah:

Love the paint job on the garage great tribute to your Dad. My Dad supported the Jacks believe it or not and we used to have some healthy debates on the merits of each team. He would be made up now with the Jacks in the Premierships and i wish he was here to take the piss, but fair play he let my Uncle take me to my first game when i was nine and that was at Ninian Park and the rest as they say is history just glad he never took me down the Vetch :o :D :ayatollah:
