So my dad passed away at 1655 today.We knew it was likely to be today and I planned to watch my last game with him even though we would only be there in body. Whatever happened today I was going to tell him that Luke had just lashed a screamer into the top corner to win it and we've finished 7th and are in Europe.

So I had the game on the laptop and the lads did us proud - He was unconscious and sedated and passed peacefully. I hope he heard some of my dodgy commentary. This was our 50th year of following the lads together. What a milestone.

He told me he picked out Sunderland in a 1956 FA cup draw at school which lead him to follow them. I'm not sure that's true as his dad and grandparents were from Shildon and Canny Hill..Either way I'm glad he did and passed that down to me.

Joanne Youngson was amazing and got me some Heaven Branch grass clippings in 24 hours so he had those on his pillow this afternoon. Thank you so much Joanne.

Sorry for this post, I just wanted to share the news that another MLF has passed.

He won't be here next week for Chelsea but I'lll still run through the match report with him. Cancer sucks. Haway the dad x

Sorry for your loss.

Joanne is such a good person and does a great job at the Heaven Branch. I know it’s been a comfort to me since my dad’s passing and hope it is to you.

Sorry to hear that mate. You keep making him proud and hopefully the lads will. Thoughts with you and the family.

Sorry to hear of your loss and glad your dad passed peacefully.

Just before my dad died, me and my brother sat with him in the hospital whilst the radio commentary was on so we could share a last game with him. Weird but I hope he enjoyed it. He died of dementia at 92. Haway all the dads!
