    He was never one to play in the famous Claret and Blue but he was a player I used to watch as a younger lad and one I liked and looked up to my condolences to his family and to all that were his friends. R.I.P Gary

    Condolences to his family but suicide is not a noble act. RIP the young British soldier who died in Afghanistan today. He didn’t have a choice.
