Wheter or not you knew Jeremy, today's lengthy obituary in The Guardian is well worth reading, if someone can please transfer it on to this MB.
Many of you who were unaware of Jeremy and his prolific playwrighting talents and unlucky not to have met this true gent at the Brit or at an away ground at which we featured, will realise the huge contribution he made to many of your favourite TV series of the last forty years.
He even used the second names of Stoke City players, in some of his work, which caused bemusement among those of us who latched on.
Jeremy was not only a considerable talent but a lovely fellow and the most modest of men. For me, a warm embrace and the guaranteed smile, is a memory which will for ever remain of a man I feel privileged to have known.
He was that rare being, a person impossible to dislike and for me personally, if our mutual devotion to Stoke City was the glue which bound us together, it was his generous nature, his so obvious love of family and his sheer decency which will live on.
Sadly, as with too many in our midst, this past season, he never lived to see us in our historical Cup Final, when he would have been bursting with pride. I'm sure that it would have been his wish that those of us who were more fortunate, will continue to make the most of the days we spend in support and appreciation of his and our beloved club.

"During the war, he was evacuated to Wolverhampton, where he developed a lifelong passion for Stoke City football club." What a sensible boy he was  RIP Jeremy Paul |

r.i.p to mr jeremy paul.
a talented man who had a great taste in football teams.
our thoughts are with his family and friends at this very sad time.
i never met or knew him or about his connection with stoke city.
next time any of his works are on TV or radio i will listen for the names of former players and hope that jeremy is listening and smiling.
thanks for the memories mr jeremy paul.
a glowing tribute from all who knew,must have been one of lifes nice guys.
what a fitting way to be remembered by.

I was lucky enough to call Jeremy a friend and I was devestated when I heard he had passed away before the Cup Final.
He was a true Gentleman and a huge Stokie!
RIP Jeremy, it was a pleasure knowing you.

Jeremy was a lovely man, a true gent, who loved to talk about all things Stoke in great depth. I had the great pleasure to know him and to work with his daughter Sasha. RIP x
