Sorry for the news and for the Hird family.
Will be an emotional time for Jimmy this weekend.
Would not like to line up against him at the start of the game as he is will be taking no prisoners. He is certainly hard at it and can hurt when he hits!

My condolences to the Hird family.

Alan T Hird made an enormous contribution to this great club. And his contribution certainly added to the greatness of it. RIP.

Ok then.
I'll grab a card tomorrow and probably post it Monday, I hate getting condolence cards to people too far after the event, they hardly want them dribbling in for weeks. So anyone who wants to say anything, I suppose do it in here, and if anyone DOESN'T want their message in the card let me know please.
Or PM me the messages, whatever.
Or would just one message and the names of any BTers who want be more appropriate?
