As a West Brom supporter from the Midlands I saw Brian play and then met him and Judith in TRNC at The Old Mill Ozankoy in 2007

He lived his life like he played "fair and square"

One minutes silence was held in Brians memory before the recent Bristol Rovers v Charlton game and from one who was there, take it from me there WAS 1 minutes silence (even from away supporters)

Brians gone but we dont forget

RIP ~ Didn't realise he was in NC, managed Bath City for a couple of years back in the 70's I believe.
