My Dad passed away yesterday after a short illness aged 86 he's spent around 70 of those following the Boro / Town round the country . Unlike many other fans there was no Liverpool , Man U , Villa or Cov + Boro for him it was this club and no other , he loved the club . Some of you will know him by name most would probably know him by sight .
His first game was the QPR cup game in the fifties . With no floodlights midweek games were played in the afternoons back then , his school ( Arbury ) shut its doors to allow the kids to attend . He started attending regularly around two years later and only missed a game home or away if he absolutely had to for the next seven decades . Despite growing mobility problems he was still attending home & away till the end his last game being the Boston play off .
He passed the bug onto me and i will continue to support this club and no other as long as i can just like him , but it will be strange without him .
