We have got our club back and fate ensured Trevor saw the takeover through to the new owners RIP TF

If there is to be an upside to all this then it will be that one or two more fans will have been reminded that they still have feelings for the club.
I expect Blues to capitalise on this (hopefully in a tactful way) as others do and once again Tricky Trev will swell the numbers through the turnstiles.

Colbacks the wrong profile surely
Reports from Switzerland said Basel got put off by the 3.5m Euro price tag so would imagine a loan.
Again just Twitter guff but seemed a well followed account reporting on the Swiss league
Persistent rumours that he is signing. Not sure if it's permanent or a loan. Would assume a loan.

On the official Blues website there's a picture of Trevor as a young lad, in the background Theresa stand with what looks like a clock and I'm not sure if there's a cricket pitch in the middle.
I've seen Blues play at Sheffield United and Northampton when both grounds were football and cricket but I don't think it's either of those.
Where is it? (possibly Bourneville)
It's Bramall Lane Sheffield United.
Retire it until Jude comes back and he can unretire the number 8 shirt.
It would be interesting to see if they retire the number 8 squad number or would it be too late...
Saw a link to this within those posts. It appears inspiring them to a victory at Inter was one of the many reasons they fell in love with him. What a player.

Trevor has truly left a mark with us all including our Italian friends.
I rang my daughter last night who lives just outside Verona. I asked her if she had heard about Trevor passing. She said it had been on TV in the news and the Gazetta online was running a tribute - I am in no doubt it will be in the newspaper today.
I have copied one of the comments and run it through the auto translate.
I thought this was rather fitting. God bless.

No, not some crappy new one.
Trying to remember what we sang back in the day that we can sing after the inevitable minute’s silence v Leeds.
Let’s face it, we’re not what we were when it comes to a full stadium rousing chorus, so need to get our act together for this one.
I might be wrong, but in the back of my mind I seem to recall ‘Francis’ sung repeatedly to the tune of Amazing Grace?
Or should it be a ‘proper’ KRO?
Anyway, we can be... Читать дальше...

Francis to the tune of amazing grace is genius. Never knew that until tonight.
