Title: Chelsea away-Sean Lock
Post by: johnny from donny on August 23, 2021, 11:55:26 AM
Many apologies if this has been posted elsewhere (please delete if it has)but I read something on twitter that Chelsea are planning a minutes applause for Sean Lock when we play them.
A quick Google search only brought up a story in The S** and I'm not going to click on that,  much less post a link to it.
If anyone has more information then please share so those who are going know what's happening and when.

I'd imagine that if they do, there will be a picture of him on the screen so just join in when everyone else claps. It is their first home game since his passing so sounds feasible that they might do that.

A minute’s applause on 58 mins.

Seems a bit odd to me. What's the football link? Other than being a fan.

He was quite a big fan apparently, not just going to Stamford Bridge, but even travelling to European away games with the 'normal' fans on occasion.  I only know this from a mate who was on the same flight as him once heading to a game.

I've got no problem with this.  He was a prominent fan and an all round good egg, if I was going I'd be happy to clap.  I'm sure they'll join in for Nigel Kennedy when the time comes.

I was actually a little sad when he passed. He had looked ill last time i saw him on TV

Genuinely funny guy

Presumably he was there in the days of shitty perimeter barbed-wire, crap sightlines and hoping for the best from Gavin Peacock (did score both goals in 1-0 league wins over Yanited in 93/94 when they won the double...got hammered by them in the FA Cup final unfortunately).

I loved Sean Lock, one of the very few 'stranger' deaths that have affected me.

He seemed a sweet guy.

I was cycling to work down the Roman Road in East London once.
I stopped at a crossing for a Dad and two kids, it was none other than Sean.

I loved that at the very moment he walked right in front of me, he was saying in a very animated way to the one nipper “Just don’t tell your mother!”.

It felt a very Sean Lock moment.

I too found myself getting rather emotional at the passing of Sean Lock. For some reason I was more emotional than I usually am about most celebrity deaths.

Been watching clips of him on YouTube. Hilarious, but very bittersweet.

I've always loved his critique of a kid's panto on The Big Fat Quiz of the Year. The panel are gagging at his brilliant rant.

That Panto rant is one of my all time fave bits of comedy.

Brilliant, how did he come up with this stuff?!!

Kids' acting critique. He's only saying what we're all thinking...

Very funny clip and very sad. My older brother is a lifelong Chelsea supporter and he was really gutted about one of their own so to speak. The fact that he was only 58 makes it worse

We had a beer with him in the Hotel Du Vin in Brum a few years ago - really good guy, down to earth, knew his football and funny with it too. Fair play to Chelsea on this one.

Blimey...really? Good riffing by Sean, and I like the way it encapsulates his loathing of "luvvy" comedy/celebritities but...he did far better than this. And James fcuking Corden is in it too.

I really should have put a James Corden warning on that clip. Apologies.

The same day I’d had results of neck and chest scans clearing the threat of any cancer cells remaining after my thyroid had been removed due to cancer six months prior, I find out one of my favourite comedians dies of some form of cancer. This really hit home for me, I was relieved by my own fortunes and the stress that had built over the previous week and yet gutted to hear the news. Always wanted to see him at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

Glad to hear the all clear mate. He vanished off Cats Does Countdown for a while about 3 years ago and when he came back he looked like he'd been ill and his voice had changed so I suspect his might have been neck/chest related.

I managed to see him twice, he was great.

Cheers mate.

First saw him on tele appearing on Room 101 twenty years ago, it’s on Youtube. Was superb at the comical rant. Also did a bit about how rubbish modern football is at a Cup Final. Had no idea he’d been off tele for three years.

Wahey! I have it on DVD but I'm a lazy fucker. Always worth a watch, won't be to everyone's taste but I love it. Off to shout 'Oi!' at people roller blading.
