Rest in peace Bradley

[LD19SAFC]

Caught a bit of the sky coverage this morning that was posted on facebook - seeing the superheroes saluting the coffin and then Defoe in his England shirt and that was me done - trying to hide in my office so no one can see me in bits.

I'd just settled down and then saw the superheroes - started again. Unbelievably sad

posted this before but the video just seems so apt, watching life unraveling and Moving On... and I was sit in a boozer waiting to go and see them this time last week when the news broke

Grayson, O'Shea, Cattermole and Mannone are all at the funeral, as is David Moyes

Terrible

I dont think Ill respect a footballer more in my life than Defoe.

Just drove past a family on me way to graft in their mags shirts waiting for a bus opposite the tavern.
I'm guessing they'd been to the sol to pay their respects. Puts all the petty ssquabbles between the two sets of fans into perspective

agreed - he's humanised something which has been too far removed from reality...

Lass that works in the same school as our lass went in with a NUFC top on today, the bairns have been booing her all morning

The North East kid's funeral that resembled a Funeral for a statesman in terms of numbers.
This is the respect he deserved from everyone's life that he brightened up.
What a special lad.
Love, respect and wishes to his immediate family.
Should feel a sense of real pride.x

Short, Moyes, Grayson, O'Shea, Catts and Vito all there today. Defoe wore an England top.

Good stuff. Tim Bresnan is a patron of the foundation I believe.

Heard this for the first time around the time Bradley's story broke. From Phantom of the Opera I think. Remember thinking the lyrics were very fitting ;

Flooded with tears here watching that, office is stinking with onions on top of the high pollen count.
God speed Bradley, little superhero.
