Thanks for that CB ,got a text from ginger ,Iam going to find it difficult getting across due to prior half term holiday plans with

family .

 
For personal reasons I couldn't make it yesterday, just got this from a mate of mine...  Unbelievable yesterday very emotional but what a turnout! About 500: Family, Chelsea, Cabbies (who did a procession in their cabs), Posties, Pub-associates & everyday friends. Palmerston, Coach, Wine bar, Greyhound, Railway all taken over before & after Funeral. All went really well with great eulogies in Church by Carl's Daughter & Mark Turpin then Wurzel's Brother Johnny did a great speech and recited a poem in the Crematorium. C.Q. O'Brien-RIP-Legend.

I am glad they gave Wurzel a good send off. Do you know what poem was read?

 
Very sad and moving day but a top turn out for a great man , spoke to my mate next day and he was told the church stewards counted in 530 ( full house ) with another 150 outside , also great gesture from Sutton and Wimbledon black cabs giving Carl an escort to the church , if your interested  some nice bits on youtube - Carl O`Brien Wurzel  ,  RIP big man , win or lose up the blues , the poem .

Yesterday, we said goodbye to another long time lad from up this way, namely John "Gonzo" Gonzales, aged 61 who had battled against his illness for a long time. He was well known to plenty, in and around our surrounding area as well as Watford ,Hemel, MK, Fulham, North Kensington etc and BITD,would have been seen in The Ifield, The Lily,7 Stars, The tournament, POW etc and had for a few years, shared a season ticket with similar long term supporter, his sister,Maria.

The club had previously been told of his passing and sent a letter of condolence and supplied a bag of lapel pin badges which were worn by plenty, including those who don't follow Chels.

Carried from the church to the tune of the Liquidator, he was buried in Stanmore, North west London with a Chelsea flag covering his coffin and family and friends remembered him and his love of old school reggae with the usual enthusiasm after.

So, no more will players be a accused of being " Lacka-sidaisycal" !

RIP Gonz.

There is a flag being made at the moment 60 x 40 foot with all the names of Chelsea Fans that have left us. May be too late to get him added there is a group on Facebook called North Stand do your Job who are organising it

There's an old St Helier Arms regular at 3:42, the one who hasn't got long hair. Not a Chelsea, or even a football, bod, but a good old mate from back in the day at Gaynesford High School and the Arms.

 
The fight for justice goes on...
