It is with great sadness that we learned that our friend Paul had passed away on Thursday morning after a short period of illness.
Paul was a real Stokie, following the team home and away.
Supporters may know him from his many years as a courier on the official coaches.
He was always willing to talk reasonably and sensibly about tactics and Stoke's prospects.
But, he was also famously known for walking around a tree on London Road for luck on match days, even after the tree had been chopped down!!
He also had an encyclopedic knowledge of music particularly the Laural Canyon genre.
I first got to know Paul through working with him at HMRC in Hanley, where he was renowned for his terrible dad jokes!
We soon became friends discussing all things Stoke. And I can still picture his beaming smile when we met by chance outside Wembley on the day of the FA Cup final, about a year after his retirement.
RIP Paul
We'll be with you.

I have known Paul for over 40 years following Stoke around the country, He was a fixture on the coaches attending every away game.
I sat by him at Rotherham away and had our photo taken.Paul was a lovely man and will be sadly missed.Paul was a rare Stoke fan who
followed the club all his life and was 100 per cent committed to Stoke City and also always talked sense,Paul knew what was what.
Condolences to Pauls family and to Stoke City we have lost one of its best and most committed fans.
RIP Paul.

I have known Paul for over 40 years, worked with him, drank with him, stood on the Boothen End at the Vic with him, been to pop quizzes with him. He was a fan of the club, through thick and thin, and let’s be honest there has been enough of the latter. A sad loss for family, friends and the wider SCFC community. RIP….

Sadly we lose another fantastic Stokie, with his history and commitment, difficult perhaps impossible, to replace in todays culture.
Respects and condolences to his friends and family

Just saw his picture in the Sentinel. Didn't know him personally but met him and spent a night chatting away with him in the queue for Wembley tickets for the FA Cup final. Real nice fella.
RIP Paul.

He looks ever so familiar. Did he happen to drink in the Black Lion? God Bless, Paul and love and prayers to his loved ones xx |
