Fair play Kev. You didn't mention how shit he thought your impressions were though.

[Section_31]

Beautiful post Kev.

[Creator Supreme]

Brilliant Reds4life, you're a star mate, all you guys who got him pissed and stoned are legends, as is Cath.

 

Rest in peace Ste!

I would think that taking Steve to Brisbane and adelaide for the games in July would be a fitting send off. Maybe green Jesus could also make an appearance with the local lads.

 

Also I shared this with Kev earlier but I was sent a message from Robbie a few days ago

He wanted it shared with all his friends ( which unfortunately means us)

 

" sorry to hear that and nothing can ever say can make it better...

Thinking of you all at this terribly sad time... YNWA"

 

If there's more of a class act than Robbie Fowler and the lads at 5times I'm yet to meet them

[Nunavut Patrick]

Fantastic post Kev.

 

Just fantastic.

[Creator Supreme]

Class from God, fucking hell I'm getting all misty eyed again.

[Champ]

Thanks, Kev. And Cev and Alex and Nath.

 

Right, folks, heads together for (a) fitting tribute(s) to Steve?

[Furmedge]

Do they do mentions in the programmes anymore?  Can't remember as I've not bought one in years.  Maybe a feature on the bond between supporters who have never met?

Apologies if that came across as a bit 'on with the next thing'; I really didnt mean that at all. You have all been absolutely immense and I know you will say it was a pleasure/nothing really but it was a fantastic gesture and I just wish I could buy you all a pint and give you a great big hug of thanks in person.

 

But I wouldn't like to let this slip so if there's anything I can do to help organise something in Steve's memory count me in

I don't think anyone took it the wrong way, and you're right, this shouldn't slip. His life has touched us all (some in a more pervy way than others) and it would be fitting that we recognise that. The suggestion from Furmege is fab, and if not in the program maybe in the fanzine if Dave is ok with it?

 

 

Same as you, what ever is decided, count me in.

[Trumo]

Get one of Melons' bras and have it held down at both ends of the Kop, with 'TLW Stevebaby &' on one cup and 'The Green Jesus' on the other. 

 

It's just a suggestion.

I'm just back from a 5 day trip to Melbourne with the out laws Cath so a bit jaded at the minute, whatever anyone wants to come up with is sound by  me. It could be a really good article for Usher on one of his media conglomerates, short story about the power of the fanzine and the footy communities. 

 

I spent a good 20 minutes in the Jacuzzi this morning wondering how likely it is we could "borrow" green Jesus and get him to Adelaide or Brisbane, would be a heist Steve would appreciate, just not sure on ending up on the news for nicking a statue from a palliative care garden!

Banner with a photo of Green Jesus on one flank, and Gandy's head 'shopped onto Gandhi's body on the other. In the middle - SURRENDER, FOR WE CARRY THE POWER OF GREEN JESUS AND THE WISDOM OF GANDY WITH US!

Just an idea but James Pearces 'Blood Red' collumn in the football echo of a Saturday (pink pullout bit in the main Liverpool Echo) is usually good for mentions on this sort of thing.

 

I'd happily get in touch with him myself but I don't think I know half the full story of what has happened with Steve and have only flitted in this thread from time to time.

 

His twitter handle is @jamespearceecho, and by all account seems a good red.

They do mentions in the programme still.

Reds4Life- In trying to rep your post I negged it by mistake.

Class post.

my humblest apologies - damn phone!

[VladimirIlyich]

A banner with the photo of Steve and the Green Jesus would be a good idea,imho.

Is it a stupid idea to start up some kind of fund/small charity thingy in his name? Robbie Fowler as patron?

I'm just spit balling here.

I love the banner idea. How do we make it happen.

I like the idea of this too.

 

I am gutted Steve didnt have much of a family. Who knows what happens in families but from where I'm sat it feels very much like their loss. But I would so love to have been able to show them what he inspired in us

[Creator Supreme]

Would it be in bad taste to share Ste's story (what little of it I know) with people I know on FB?

 

I'd just like more people to know about this sad yet wonderful tale.

Gandy was an inspiration to many of us on here, and many more people who actually knew him (I'm sure), I certainly don't think sharing Steve's story would be in any way disrespectful.

This.

 

It's a story of great kindness, amazing will and fight from a dying man and lots of both laughter and tears.

 

It's a story I'm proud to have read, let alone spoke to the guy.

[Creator Supreme]

Cheers mate, I'll work on something and post on FB in next few days, maybe on here too.

[Reds4Life]

Just saw a post on Gandyji's FB page from his aunt I think it is.

 

Ste's funeral service will be on Monday at 3pm Sydney time (4am GMT) at Rookwood Cemetery.

 

I have also called Sacred Heart which was the palliative care hospice that Ste was staying in. The lady told me it is publicly funded through St

Vincents hospital but they do accept donations.

 

I thanked all the staff, nurses and doctors for everything that they did for Ste and how appreciative we all were for their efforts in looking after him.

Are you going to go to the service, Kev?

Not at all.  There cant be a single person who has read this and the cancer thread that hasnt been moved by the way Steve faced his illness and his own mortality. When there is so much fear about cancer and death I think its a story that ought to be told. No better tribute to the man, I'd say
