Popular Post MidSussexBlue 1,275 Posted October 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 24, 2023 It is amazing that whilst you may never have met someone, news of their passing hits you as if you have known them personally for years. I am incredibly saddened by this news and hope his nearest and dearest remember all the great times they shared with him.

I've asked if they would be OK with us putting together a fundraiser in his name and work out a suitable permanent memorial to Ben. I haven't heard back yet - I sent another message last night but I haven't chased again since. We have to appreciate that the family needs a bit of time and space so there may be a bit of a delay in sorting all of this out, but one thing for sure is I won't allow it to be forgotten and whether it's this week or in a month's time, we'll do Ben justice.

That was it. Got my wires crossed. I’m sure the family will appreciate you reaching out. Definitely agree on giving them space. No need to rush any decisions.

Popular Post the goal machine 7,824 Posted October 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 24, 2023 Fucking hell, just saw this. Despite never meeting him in person, he was probably one of the posters I was friendliest with on here as he was such a genuine guy and a really good poster. Beyond gutted, and condolences to his family and everyone on here who knew him. RIP. Bears r us, Bobby Hume, Bluekev and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Den Mac 48 Posted October 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2023 Hi all. Hope all is well. As a banned member I thought I’d sign up, as I want to give my condolences to young Bens family and friends at this sad and difficult time. I only met Ben once or twice watching Rangers through the years, also knowing him for years on the forum, it’s so sad hearing about his untimely and sudden death. Ben was only a few years older than my son, so I suppose it’s got a chord with me. He was an absolute diamond of a fella, sometimes we didn’t see eye to eye on here, but so what it’s the internet ffs. on another note, if the forums admin wanted to do a raffle/football card/auction to help raise funds, I have a match worn Mark Hately top from the 92/93 season that I won at an auction, I’d be happy to hand over to the forum to help raise funds. If any help is needed at all, no matter how small I’d be happy to help. cheers. Take care of your loved ones 💙 Junior soprano Darth Bear, The Godfather, stevemac and 45 others 48 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
