All, apologies for the new thread but I've been asked to post the following by Chris Newton, a lurker on here whom some of you will know, to announce the death of a great poster on here, Doctor Richard Holt, aka goodshot.
"Richard Holt (goodshot) had been suffering from cancer for three years. Sadly he passed away peacefully last night. Richard was a great friend of 35 years, when we met through work. He was a fine reader of the game, posting many perceptive and analytical reports. He will be greatly missed".
I'd like to add some words of my own. Like Chris Newton, I too initially got to know Richard through work, all three of us were geologists in the oil industry. Coincidentally Richard and Chris N worked for the same company for many years. Richard started watching Town two or three years before I did, he certainly saw Ray Wilson play for Town, possibly also Denis Law. Richard later became a University lecturer for a time and then ran a highly successful natural resources recruitment website. He was a clever man. We would usually meet up at away grounds around the country, chat briefly about work, then chat forever about Town. Richard (and his wife) held season tickets right up till now, even though he found travel from their home in Cambridge increasingly difficult.
Although I rarely ever posted myself on the politics forum on here, I know Richard was a very prolific poster on there. I think his views were respected by most.
He was a good man, and a great Town fan.
RIP goodshot.

I was wondering the other week what had happened to Goodshot. He was a very good poster, one whose posts I always took the time to read.
Very sad news that he has passed away. My thoughts are with his friends and family.

A great poster one of whom I enjoyed replying too and interacting with, always thought he had a good tactical insight and could often relate to him.
Wasn't a friend or even someone I knew by face so can't say I was aware of his age or even his condition but it is always tragically sad to hear news such of this.
Rest in peace sir

Popped in here to add my condolences - Met Richard all over the country but particularly at southern away games and he was a lovely bloke with a sharp mind and a sense of fun.
Sad day.
RIP Richard

Same as a lot of posters on here, we might see them regularly up and down the country but obviously wont have a clue who they are, sounds like he was a nice bloke, still plenty of them about.
