News just released that Tony Penn from Bradford has passed away.  Really sad, players come and go but Tony was a proper legend. HEITS

Last time I seen him was at Newcastle away quite a few years ago, he seemed to like the attention. His PA said he did too, she took him to all the games. I seem to remember she supported the Blues too.

Had no idea he was so well-known, but I'm pretty sure that I once dropped my wallet while taking out my ticket, and he chased after me 50-60 yards to let me know and hand it back to me. Seemed a gentleman and a lovely bloke. RIP.
