RIP Hughie, a proper legend and a damn nice bloke as well. I only saw him a few years ago when he was playing a veterans’ game and he was in fine form then. This is one of my favourite pics of mine of

It was Lounge Room Lizard but I think he was on even before that under a different name? Possibly RLDeutchsland or similar.

Either way, a sad loss. The last time I chatted with him, he seemed fairly optimistic but knew ultimately he was living on borrowed time. A brave guy. RIP 

Thank you for supplying the name. Indeed a sad loss. RIP

He effectively wrote his own Obituary here.

Check a couple of posts up from that one for the health bits.

I think he was 'Simac' before Lounge Room Lizard.  Never met Simon, but his posts always led me to believe that he was a real nice lad.

RIP Simon.

Only just caught up with this. Very sad to hear about Loungr Room Lizard. Only knew him on here, but he struck me as a bloke I'd like to chew the fat with over a beer and I cannot pay a higher compliment than that.

My Dad. Sadly left us this morning aged 74, after suffering a stroke yesterday evening. 

He wasn't really an RL fan, being a proud Welshman he loved his Rugby Union, plus football, having been brought up as a Wrexham fan. I did get him to a handful of games over the years, including a couple of visits to The Racecourse, both to watch Wales, and Fev v NW Crusaders a few years back. 

He lived most of his life in Ponte, having moved there shortly after I was born, given my mum was a Cas lass and had family locally. Weirdly, especially given I became a Fev fan rather than following Cas like my mum's family, he'd actually seen Fev at Wembley 10 years before I was born, due to a friendship in his student days with a Barrow fan. Strange how these things sometimes happen.

Terrible . They’re are no words . Remember what you had , be with family and laugh over the good times and stories . Humour is a good antidote ,  It helps a little,  but it hurts like hell  . Best wishes
