Brian Green

[eamonn]

Just read through this thread after being alerted to it. I've often thought about Brian during the too many hours spent on here over the years, in more recent times willing him back to post his sage one-liners, asides and digressions that had enough creativity and abandon to base film-plots, nay entire series', on.

And more than once I have wondered/worried whether he had passed away but then I recalled some stints of absence in the past so was hopeful he'd return with a pearl of wisdom or three.

He was always so respectful and charming in addressing fellow-posters and replying to points we all made on the forum.

He and Damon both helped make this place a cut-above in the 2000s/2010s.

Thank you Brian, you'll always be legendary.

Very sorry to hear this news, Brian was a proper gent. My deepest condolences.

I’ve only just seen this thread and heard the sad news. Brian was an absolute legendary member of the forum we had some great chats about birds he had spotted. Such a wise and kind man. He sent me some birdwatching books and tulips for our bereavement garden at school. I loved hearing about the nature he encouraged on the land he owned. I’m glad he was surrounded with love at the end

Apologies, as I have only just seen this.

Brian was a great poster, and by the sounds of it an even better Dad.

I remember moaning about my struggles growing raspberries, and he quickly replied offering to sort me out with some raspberry canes to pick up next time at VP.

Oh, and that WSC piece is a lovely bit of writing….

Your dad made me laugh lots. He was awesome on here and will be missed by many including me. So sorry for your loss :'(

I had forgotten that I wrote this about him.

The footnote to this is that my friend Alan McArthur - like Brian brilliant, hilarious and very left-wing - sadly died a couple of years ago but his son Stanley has grown up nutty about his dad's team.

That’s brilliant Damon.

Agreed, a magnificent piece
