It’s with great sadness that Keith (a Boro fan since the 1960s) passed away st 3.20 yesterday in Coventry University Hospital. He was a Boro regular home and away for much of the 70s, 80s and 90s. Up until his illness in December he hardly missed a home game and could always be found with John Perkins behind the goals the Boro were attacking. He was renowned for starting arguments with opposition fans in the 70s but never got involved in a fight. He was one of the minibus crew that travelled intermittently in the mid-1970s. He was at all the big Cup games home and away. He was also a regular contributor to this page under the name Albert Drainpipe I believe. There will be no funeral I believe just a scattering of ashes (if I am wrong I will let you know). A minute’s silence at a Boro game would be greatly appreciated. Goodbye Keith.

Can't put a face to him but I do remember the posts.

Any chance of a photo? I'm sure I'd recognise him.
