Many of you will know Curlz who has been a member of this site and the various other forms before the LTFC Fool; 606 and 262. Curlz has been fighting a battle with ill health for quite some time and yesterday he contacted me with some very sad news; news he asked to share with his friends on this site. Unfortunately, it is unlikely that this very brave and dignified friend will be with us for very much longer as his health is deteriorating and sadly treatment options have been exhausted.
As I said, this LTFC legend asked me to pass the unwelcome news to folks on this site; simply speaks volumes for the excellent character and bravery of the man.

Sad news Bill, let's hope he can see us in the Premier League.
My abiding memory of Curlz was the very first time I opened the Lansdowne Club for LTFC fans. He was first through the door with a flag draped around his shoulders. He settled in a window table in the sun lounge with a pint of Guinness. A half-hour or so passed and I overheard him on his phone, obviously to another fan, 'I'm the only one here', which he was. Thankfully over time things got busier.

Very sad, a brave chap, I first met him in the Brickies when I think it was who organised a 606 meet up, probably 2012, a real character, he will be missed.

Sad news will miss his "how are you bonny lad?". First met him at Carlisle and had a pleasant walk and chat with him from a city centre pub to the Brunton Park ground.

On arrival at Gateshead’s stadium with my bike years ago, Curlz greeted me not only with Bonny lad but also a kiss, and at Fleetwood with his orange clogs and a jig. I just hope he somehow continues to defy even these impossible odds

I spoke to him this morning and told him of the many memories posted about him and he was really pleased. He is an extraordinary man who despite his desperate situation continues to be positive. I have told him I will call him every two days so if anyone wants anything passing on to him please let me know.

Very sad indeed to hear this news. I met Curlz a few times, once in Barton and at a few games. As mentioned a very decent and positive man. Best wishes Curlz. XX Bonny man.

Lake, and anyone else who speaks to Curlz, please pass on love from Jess (Music) and me. We are thinking of him. We have both missed him in recent years as fist Covid stopped us meeting and then his health deteriorated. He is such a lovely man who doesn't deserve to suffer.

Sorry to hear this news. He was a regular at the Leicester arms at the start of the season and I had the pleasure of busing him to the ground. Will be sadly missed.
