RIP Eyes, my old mucker.
Found out today from Rawcliffe and was genuinely shocked.
Not much older than my good self.
What can I say...daft as a brush, empty-headed fool but always quick to laugh and smile and often that's all you need.
A proper character and I regaled a Dutch pal with a few of his antics over dinner tonight....made me laugh at least.

Eyes got me in more than one scrape on that trip! I actually know him from much further back....never called him "Eyes"...he was always Chris to me. Always some madcap idea or scheme. Recall once walking in to a pub in Mirfield with him and a kid playing pool had a L**ds shirt on....Eyes just walked over and lamped him....and he was not angry...just carrying out his civic duty  |

Really sad to hear this news. 4 Eyes was the heart and soul of the Cowshed movement back in the 1970s when I first went to watch Town. We were playing the likes of Workington, Southport, Darlington and Bradford in those days. Teams who are no longer in the Football League or at least well on their way to being out. 4 Eyes came into his own at away games and if you did not see him then you certainly heard him. One of my abiding memories of him was when he was arrested at Blackpool in 1981. A brick was thrown through the pub window and 4 Eyes picked up and put it in his pocket. The police arrested him for having an offensive weapon. He just said it was Blackpool Rock. The last time I actually saw him was in the Crown last season with a 'Dirty Leeds' tee shirt on. Never changed God bless him.
Can anyone fill me in on the story I heard about him in the late 1970s that he had won the football pools or something. Was that true?

Shit! Good lad. Think Oti knows him as well. Marsh definitely knew him. RIP Fours. Very sad to hear this, used to see him in The Crown more recently, we always had a quick chat despite our differing loyalties and last time I saw him a few months back knew he was fading. Was a regular Thursday Night drinking partner in the 90’s, several of us regular as clockwork round Town, Leeds Fans, Town Fans, Man U Fans all taking the proverbial out of each other but all in good nature. Heard some crazy stories from him and others about him from both Town and England days past. In the days when tucking a Newspaper in the back of your jeans pocket was almost part of football fashion setting fire to unprepared rivals papers in theirs was one of his party pieces. Forgetting recentish misdemeanours (those who know, know) a sad loss of one of life’s characters albeit as mad as a bottle of crisps. RIP Eyes. |

I remember that he was good with you Leeds fans despite his feelings towards your club. Not all Town characters were quite so forgiving as you and I know... Anyway, hope you are well, we'll catch up soon. |

All Town fans are special, but some are iconic. Four eyes was hilarious, mad, generous and special. Along with Donna, Ainley, the Callaghans, Irish, Ged, Johnson, Gladstone etc etc.... My best memories of Town involved the away days with them. Four eyes was a favorite with the Heckmondwike lads. R. I. P. mate. Would someone be so kind as to let us know the funeral details. Very sad.

Liked his ammonia did Eyes, empty a pub in two minutes! If I get time I will write about how he upset half a dozen Italian motorcycle cops leading one of them to slap him and tear up his porn stash in front of his face....very funny...particularly Eyes trying to stick the pictures back together |
