Very true, I've had millwall , West Ham , spurs , arsenal to name a few , supporters mention Bradley to me , and I'm an hour from LondonQuality. The little lad touched the whole country, I'm sure it happened right across the UK
I think that's a poor idea, as is naming a stand after him or having an annual game against Everton.
The whole thing has arrived at a point whereby it's starting to look slightly hysterical imo.
It's very sad to say but in 5 years there will be kids at games asking 'who's this Bradley Lowery'.
In 15 years some adults will be asking the same thing.
Everton were great, as were other clubs, but I believe they'll now want to carry on with their own affairs.
Sorry if SEB, but I was so touched by this, posted on the Liverpool forum by Gillest this morning:
Some of you on the forums may remember that there used to be an LFC poetry thread, I wrote a few things on there, and dusted off the pen for an ode to Brad this morning...
If bravery had a face I’m sure,
You’d find millions who’d agree,
They’d be hard pressed to find an example better
Than 6 year old Bradley.
As millions of us began to learn
Of the cheeky Mackem’s fight;
We sang, we marched, we prayed, we cried,
We all joined Bradley’s fight.
Sunderland, his one and only team,
And as mascot, led the way;
His half time goal joined the honour roll,
For that weeks Match of the Day
His hero became his best friend,
It was just love, and not for show
“A better man he’s made of me”
Said proudly by Defoe
As Brad’s cloak approached 90 minutes
And his time was getting near,
Whilst dreams of Sunderland filled his head,
God whispered in his ear..
“I know you’re tired right now Brad,
..and whilst you think this is a dream,
I’m picking God’s eleven,
...and I need you for my team”
So this morning, whilst there will be tears,
There’s a 6 year old in heaven,
Who’s just pulled on the football shirt,
He’s part of God’s eleven.
Now whilst you’re not here anymore,
We hope the world has shown,
It doesn’t matter who you follow kid,
You’ll Never Walk Alone

Aye your probably right mate Tbf.What about all the other SAFC fans who have tragically died over the years?? We need to stop letting the emotions rule heads at this delicate time
The best way to have a lasting memory as I've said in other posts is to promote a charity for awareness towards Neuroblastoma on a national scale very much like the Bobby Robson Foundation has done. In years to come people will know who Bradley was because of the work the foundation carries out to ensure all other children diagnosed in the future receive the best treatment possible
We should have been playing Everton instead of Celtic
Understand and agree with what you have said ,but very badly put across by yourself .Our fans are allowed an opinion
Got to admit I do agree with most of this. I think an arranged game v Everton in commemoration is a great idea though

With the greatest of respect, and I mean that sincerely, I think it's a bit much for someone close to Bradley having a dig at posters who have had the little lad close to their hearts and given a great deal of moral and/or monetary support.
There's a catch with publicity, you'll get people disagreeing and you may even find people saying extremely inappropriate or abusive things. Like any other personality, media exposure means you have to take the rough with the smooth.
FWIW, I think some posters are screaming out for attention and trying to outdo each other in the grief stakes. It's a matter of time before someone gets Bradley's name tattooed on them. Hysteria at a time when everyone not connected to Bradley should keep a respectful silence for a while.
Everyone's sad that Bradley has passed away, there's just no need for all this skin-crawling, sickening, Diana-esque crap. The people grieving the most, and I mean really grieving, are Bradley's family and friends. People like yourself. Everyone else needs to pay their respects and STFU. It's becoming a tasteless charade.
Just my opinion. People can and will do as they please. The abuse I'll get for this will be water off a duck's back, some posters aren't going to like this.
Anyway, my deepest sympathy, and my deepest respect to you. I mean that, you're a top human being.
I'd happily go to that match.
However I think Everton might feel they've done their bit and, now the lad's gone, would not wish to participate.
After all they had their own tragedy, when poor Rhys Jones was shot dead at 11 years old, and, although this is from memory, think they only had black armbands and a minute's applause.
Eloquently put.
Emotions are high. Ideally people would just share their memories and not these ideas of doing this or that. Things they have no control over.
When the time is right the club, along with the family and possibly myself, will sit down and discuss what will happen going forward.
Bradley's legacy will live on.

Without doubt, the best thing you've ever said on here.I can't begin to imagine the sorrow the parents and close family of this little boy must be enduring.
Similarly I'm sure there are many others experiencing this every single day both in Sunderland and every town and city in the UK.
We seem to be getting suggestions, almost by the hour to name stands, attend games, name games, enclosures etc etc for the poor little lad
Maybe we need to take a step back and think of this family and maybe let them decide what is appropriate in terms of remembering his life.
