Bear would have been 59 today , for all those who knew him you had to say he was one of the good guys . He was the only one who closed this wedsite for a day ( fair play to those who made this happen ) i think all who knew him still miss the what he brought to the fans who traveled
home and away . Thanks for the tip off today as i may i missed his birthday , hope Aido reads this who was his travelling partner .

Probably one of the most universally liked people on ireland trips over the years. Great craic, funny and a heart of gold. You would always have a laugh if you were in the bears company on an Ireland trip Cancer really is a cruel disease.

But what they do have and no-one can deny this now, they have the finest collection of boilers in the world! And I include Canada in that!

Always smiling. Lovely fella. But the website was closed for the passing of another regular some years ago who passed away in Oz. I recall it vaguely anyway. Think his handle was EireBhoy.

Yeah eirebhoy was an excellent poster on foot.ie originally. Never met the lad but he seemed like a real gentleman and his families reaction to that tragedy shows he came from a good home. Remarkable. |

Bear was a legend...Always had a smile on his face. One of the faces that will be sorely missed when we're back at matches

Meet him on the train from Berlin to PoznaĆ for the friendly against Poland in 2013. Gent of a man. Went out of his way to talk to me.

Pretty sure there's no lockdown going on up there. So I'm sure Bear is having a laugh and raising his glass at us today!
