Just heard that a good friend of my late fathers Frank Barratt and lifelong Hull City fan has passed away well into his nineties.

He first started going in the twenties, so has seen a lot of change in his lifetime. I know he was thrilled when we got to the EPL for the first time.

RIP Frank,you were a gentleman.

That's a smashing photo isn't it.
I wish I had one of my old man sat with Brucey.
MInd he'd have been too busy turning round talking to him about football to take a good photo.

RIP to my grandad (Jack) who passed away this week aged 92. Lifelong City fan who like so many ticked the box when City finally got there in 2008. A Hessle Rerder all his life. One of his proudest moments was seeing 4 generations of his family sat there, then the Allams wreaked their havoc and then there was just 1.

Condolences mowds, used to enjoy watching him scuttling up Boulevard with his walker, about hundred miles an hour.. I don't know you but I know your dad and I knew your grandad. I'm an old neighbour of his.

Sorry to hear about your Grandad's passing, as you say at least he saw us in the top flight, which many lifelong City fans did not manage. RIP Jack.
