I have just heard the terrible news that Martin passed away in a traffic accident yesterday. Some of you will know him as Lord Effingham Hunt, others may know him as Gerbil.
He was a larger than life character, who loved to wind people up on here and in the sentinel.
A huge Stokie who will be sadly missed by a lot of people.
Thoughts go out to his Family.

Not Lord Eff 😔.
We’re losing way too many posters currently it’s frightening.

Just heard this news myself. Absolutely dreadful news. Gutted. Top bloke was The Lord and as has been said, a great wind up merchant. RIP

Oh dear what a shame. RIP. I used to enjoy his humour. Didn't he have a signature of a ventriloquist doll and a saying words to the effect of "Do gooders, I've shit 'em"?

Seemed like a regular acquiantance through his offerings on here. An influential and entertaining poster and a seemingly decent chap. He will be greatly missed. RIP.

I’m in absolute shock. I’ve known Gerbil for many years as he did a lot of work for my old man. Cracking bloke who’d talk to and had time for anyone. Had some cracking laughs with him and he loved a good wind up.
I’m struggling for words.

Sad to hear. I met him a few times and remember some of his 'contributions' popping up in the Sentinel letters page.

That's very sad news. Always remember meeting him at an OBPU years ago, and he saw me & the Mrs in the Co-Op a few weeks later, shouted me at the top of his voice, and picked my Mrs up in the air 😀
Mad as a box of frogs. I had a feeling he lived in Fenton, or used to?
RIP Martin.

I had a feeling he lived in Fenton, or used to? RIP Martin. Yes, he lived in fenton a few years back then moved Forsbrook way i think, last i knew he was living in Dresden. Ive heard he was involved in an accident in his van with a lorry on the m1 by Milton Keynes around 10am yesterday. Just hope he didnt know much about it. Top bloke, gutted. Gone far too soon. |
