Has eyes got any next of kin UTT I don't recall any Mark. I knew him a long time but he never opened up about that stuff....of course he alluded to the Standard Firework family connection but as for family....hmm. Didn't he have an estranged daughter, that seems to be in the back of my mind? Anyway, those who make it have a pint in his memory for me.

He has a brother, don't think they got on great but his nephew-and his partner- seem to be sorting all funeral stuff.

I too could not get there and don`t feel good about it. He was a good Town fan and a nice bloke too. It`s a shame once again, another good one gone. Funny bloke, but a good heart and gone far too early.

Sadly not many attended yesterday to say good bye. Always going to be expected with what's going on currently and not been able to raise a glass to him after. Something will be arranged when normality returns, I will keep you all posted once things become clearer.

The crem are allowing only 10 or so folk to attend at the moment.
Though you can record it and show it on the internet.

Well here's some clarification on some of Chris's life as well as hopefully some pics. Chris was and always will be my brother (officially my uncle) but we grew up together and played together thru the 60's 70's and early 80,s when he started spending more time away from home either supporting England abroad and many nights "inside" or at away games causing agro wherever he went.
In the 70's we'd spend hours taking old sheets and permanent markers and making Town banners much to the chagrin of Molly and Edward (Grandparents and owners of Standard Fireworks). Chris would have been in his late teens and I would have been an innocent maybe 9 year old roped in to help. Also we had a small soccer pitch in the back yard in Edgerton with a goal and I remember many times being put in goal (target practice) and having Chris fire on goal for what seems like forever!
I know he had a huge following in Town and also a lot of respect so I'm sure that at the funeral there was only a very small showing but I know that there were many more remembering him elsewhere either with us or not.
I'm going to post some pics of Chris at some point for those of you who know but maybe can't remember 4 eyes so keep watching.
Thanks, Paul Greenhalgh.
RIP Chris.

Remember Eyes from the Welly in late 70s early eighties and one time we were in there on a Friday after work and someone came up with the idea of going to Scarborough for the night but then changed to Brid so off we set 5 of us in an old reliant robin and when we got there just got pissed playing darts in all the pubs. the next morning we set off back and made eyes throw his socks away and put his feet out the window cause they were stinking. Also stood me fare back to hudds when we got nicked in London and id left my jacket with wallet on the coach. Also anyone remember the fruit and veg shop in Birkby. Good lad and sad loss. RIP
