A DECADE AGO TODAY......RIP

Sat May 18, 2013 6:57 am

My Dad, Philip Richards, Born & Bred in Cardiff, Bluebird all his life, passed away in his flat in City Road ten years ago today.

He did so much for me and probably the biggest and best thing he did was take me to Ninian Park in 1978 and I never looked back, thanks. Dad, you meant the world to me, and you still do.

Was Distraught when he went, sadly, a few days before our Millenium Stadium Play Off victory against QPR.

If he could see the club now and what this season we have achieved he would be so so proud :ayatollah:

Ironically the picture isn't the Thornhill in Cardiff, it's in Scotland, (thats why he looks puzzled) but the Cardiff Thornhill is where he is now and was cremated, RIP Dad.

Love You, Jules

Bluebird for Life :ayatollah:

And he made this possible aswell for my kick about with Ron Healey

Very touching mate.
I can empathise with you, as it will be 10 years on the 19th of July this year, that my Father (and best friend) passed away.
He saw the play-off final against QPR, but it was from his bed at home, as he was too ill to go.
May both Bluebirds rest in peace. :ayatollah:
