Sorry to hear this news.

I know his lad and he was in the Barrel when we got back on Sunday and told me he’d literally just found out within the hour or so. Gutted for him, knew Neil years. Another one gone too soon

Sad news John Furniss a regular poster on here known as Forever a Spireite has passed away at the young age of 53.
John moved to Derbyshire from Middlesbrough with his family as a kid and became hooked on watching Town from then on.
Had many a cracking away trip with him over the years and he could be very forthright in his views as could be seen from his posts on here, that was just down to his passion for the club.
He'll be greatly missed by many and leaves a son Archie who also regularly attends the games.
RIP John, miss you buddy.

Shocking news.
No age whatsoever.
Heartfelt condolences to his family.
Never one to mince his words John, outspoken and passionate about the club, a decent chap who will be sadly missed at the match.
Ironic that only a few days ago John was joking about his death and spreading his ashes at the end of Saltburn pier.
RIP John.

Tragic only been talking to him recently, shared our passion for CFC when I worked with him at Derbyshire County Council- RIP mate.

[The Rev.]

Awful sad news - only reminiscing about Saltburn a couple of weeks ago; sincere condolences to both families. RIP.

[trickytrevsfanclub]

It was Johns funeral today in a packed Crem with some stood outside. Tears, laughter and great memories all round.
RIP buddy, you’ve got the best seat in the house now. Hope Cookies new team can do you and all the other Spireites we have lost proud next season.

Forgive me I dont mean to hijack the thread but I hope people will see the sentiment behind my suggestion...

Would there be any value in adding an In Memoriam section to the message board? We get these threads occasionally and they eventually drop off and, such is life, never really thought of again.

I just wonder if the threads could be collated or the occasion marked some way? The naming of this board was to recognise Bob's passing so its not without precedent. Just thinking aloud.
