I don't know him personally but some of his stuff on twitter was hilarious, he was always winding up our friends from up the road. I'm not certain if it is the same SunderLad who did the wonderful alternative match commentaries for the highlight videos of our games - they were excellent. Condolences to his close friends and family. RIP
Aye terrible. Always appeared on my timeline and did alot of charity work with the Cuthbertson family who I know. Poor lad was posting away on twitter, normally a couple of hours before he meant to have suffered the fatal heart attack. Just awful.
RIP fella, thinking of your partner and your 3 youngsters. You might know of him... 'Tributes have poured in following the sudden death at just 43 of photographer, dedicated football supporter and father of three Chris Collier. His heartbroken fiancé Samantha Sparkles said he was a devoted dad to his three children, Abi, Nathan and Luke and step dad to her adult children Ellie and Torin. A lifelong Sunderland AFC fan, he was a retired parachute regiment captain having served in the Army for more than 20 years, working for charities when he left before taking up a post as campus manager at St Francis Xavier School in Richmond and setting up his photography business Airborne Artwork.' https://www.darlingtonandstocktonti...butes-pour-father-football-fan-chris-collier/ I was only yesterday reading about an actor from Z Cars called Leonard Williams (an Everton fan & part of the reason the theme music became their anthem) who died from a heart attack in 1962 aged 48 and had thought 'People so young dying of heart attacks used to be very common, thank God for modern medicine!'
