Fair play Lee. And fair play to all who have donated, incredibly generous that will definitely be appreciated by both the family and acorns.

Just heard the news, terrible news and condolences to all family and friends.
Just the other day I was listening to Tony Morley, Des Bremner and Pat Heard saying what a top bloke he was...
Rest In Peace one of the 14

FYI, Colin Gibson, Tony Morley, Sid and Ken McNaught are travelling over for the funeral. Great to see such a strong villa connection going.

Gutted at finding out this sad news.

The likes of Eamonn don't pass this way often, God Bless & RIP.

I've just remembered this (extraordinarily poor quality) photo I took of a bookie's window in Galway 18 months ago.

That looks like forster street, I work just around the corner from there.

I think you're right. Googled Galway bookmakers and found this http://www.johnmulholland.com/ and the same photo appears in the banner and there is a branch on Forster Street which having scuttled down via Street View looks to be the one

I could probably be putting my mad research skillz to better use...

I was just reading a piece in the Galway Advertiser which refers to Eamon's annual New Year's Eve call to Ron Saunders. It also mentions that when he heard of his former landlady's death ( today's players would not grasp this concept) he drove to Birmingham for her funeral. What a wonderful person.

I am more touched by Eamon's passing than by anything that has happened on the pitch this season.

Should you get a confirmation text back when you do this?

For those of you who may be interested here is a photo of the almost completed wreath. Tried to get as close to the villa colours as possible, but obviously restricted to the colours of the available flowers. she's to put a V on the ribbon as well.

Well done Ger -  looks great.

Nice one Ger, Eamon would probably be embarrassed at all the fuss being made.
