Such sad news followed the City for years.

Remember having a few beers with him in Vancouver when the City went there pre season.

RIP fellow Blooooobird.

Very sad to hear, I am sure that Hoppy was one of the ones along with me Spike, Billy and a few other who I cannot recall now when we all got arrested in Newbury on our way back from Cambridge game in 83/84. Fighting withdrawal from Newbury town centre. We left the Rose and Crown on the friday night

RIP mate :bluebird:

Very sad, in shock now. I'm sure I saw him at the game on Sunday. Couldn't speak as needed to get to toilet.

RIP Hoppy, you will be missed by so many. Followed the City everywhere. Gutted when I had the message yesterday. Up with your brother now, shouting down at the club you both loved.
