    Heartbreaking news to wake up to.

    I sat next to Mark and Irene for many seasons and they were regulars at TIT away excursions, such a lovely couple, in fact i'm pushed to think of a more perfect couple.

    Bless you Mark.

    If you followed the City and Wales for long enough you would have come across Mark and Irene.
    He was such a knowledgeable man and he always had a smile on his face.
    RIP Mark you will be greatly missed.
    Thoughts to Irene and all Marks family and friends.

    Wow, that's a shock, Mark was no age. As already posted you would certainly recognise Mark and Irene if you have followed Cardiff and Wales for any length of time. RIP Mark

    RIP Mark and condolences to Irene.

    Mark was a friend to everyone and his passing comes as a great shock.

    A loss to his partner, family, friends, Cardiff City and Wales.

    Genuinely shocked, not someone that I was particulary close to, but someone who was always there. Our paths often crossing both at football and away from it.

    Rest in peace Mark, a good guy. Condolences to all.

    This really is shocking news. A lovely man who was a delight to talk to about CCFC and everything else.

    My personal condolences to Irene and the rest of his family, and also the condolences of all my colleagues at the Trust who were fortunate to have met him and known him.

    RIP Mark. Used to see Mark and his partner regularly on the CCSC bus in the early 90s. Didn't speak to him though until a few years ago, when I bought his book in the club shop. He seemed a really nice guy. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.

    Absolutely gobsmacked

    Mark was a lovely fella and city through and through

    Ive had the pleasure to sit by him and Irene since we have moved into the new stadium and chat about all things City whenever possible

    He also was great with sorting out travel for me to go away games if I needed it

    An absolute gentleman

    RIP Bluebird - truly stunned to hear this

    RIP peace Mark, and sincere condolences to Irene.
    It's going to be strange going to Wales and City away games, music quizzes, and concerts, and not seeing you there.
    One of the nicest guys you could ever meet.

    I'm sure nearly everyone will recognise Mark whether we knew him or not. A City face for sure.

    Condolences to his family and close ones.

    Sad news.

    I commented on the thread posted last week by the Boss that he was a "top quizzer", referring to his being good at the pop (assume his username springs from this?) quizzes we used to frequent back in the 80's on a Sunday night.

    Our team and every other were usually playing for runners up spot such was his depth of knowledge.

    Condolences to his family and friends.
