" A TRUE FOOTBALL GENT RIP "

Pat Dolan known as Chelsea Fat Pat to many and Loved up and down the Country and all over Europe, passed away last night in hospital. I met Pat when I was 16 years old and not a week went past without us speaking. I brought Pat down to Cardiff in the early 80's and Pat was loved by every Cardiff fan. I met many football lads through Pat from all over. I loved Pats stories and had hundreds of great times with him. Pat was even liked by Millwall,West Ham and Spurs ha ha that was Pat for you.
GOD BLESS YOU Pat.

Anthony Rivers Great words mate. He was a true gentleman Annis. One of the nicest men I've ever met. Spent a lot of time with him over the years and Claire and I are gutted. You knew him longer than any of us and I know what he meant to you. We'll have a drink for Pat soon x

Annis Abrahamii Anthony, Pat lightened up a room,many would love just to listen to his stories and his stories were the best. I met so many friends through Pat and I had so many adventures with him, He even never forgot my childrens birthdays. Im told Pat died peacefully in hospital last night and thankfully not pain full. Pat had a lot of time for you Anthony.

Pat, Was the best at stories, a crowd would gather when Pat told them. Will be sadly missed.

Gutted. Top lad

Unfortunately I never had the pleasure of meeting Pat but Annis has told me a lot about him and spoke very highly of the man.

RIP Pat.

R.I.P Pat.

Always remember him referring to a firm as a "Herd".

Such a likeable and engaging character.

Only met Pat a few times seemed a real tidy guy. Rip big man

Lads Pat was the nicest.most genuine football lad from another club Ive ever met, Really will be missed

Pat was Chelsea,but had a real soft spot for Cardiff City
