    Oh no, I didn’t realise he had passed away. Mike M put him directly in touch with me when he first contracted bowel cancer which I was also suffering with at the time but further along with my treatment. We exchanged regular emails and kept each other updated on our treatments and supported each other. Last year he gave me his Euro 2016 fan number as I needed an extra one for one of my sons, I didn’t ask for it, he just offered it. I know he was pleased to have walked his daughter down the aisle last year. I wrote to him about a month ago but didn’t get a reply , he must have been seriously ill by then. Makes me realise how lucky I’ve been and how unfair life can be

    RIP Mark, my fellow bluebird

    Mark was disagnosed with bowel cancer in 2015 and despite battling to overcome it he suffered set backs with secondary cancers in his pelvis and lungs and subsequent kidney failure.

    After coming through all of that he continued to fight and was posting on CCMB as recently as January. A couple of weeks ago the cancer came back and though doctors gave him six months to live he sadly died in the early hours of today.

    Thoughts to Mark's family.

    RIP
    This is terribly sad news, I had noticed his absence recently and assumed he had just stopped posting. He was someone I enjoyed posting with. I think he was on the board as long as 15years ago.

    My thoughts and condolences go to Mark's family and friends at this tragic time.

    It was with great sorrow that I heard yesterday of the passing of Mark Symonds - "The Alien" on here.

    As well as being a very well liked poster on this message board he was also well liked in his home town of Cwmbran and very well respected throughout the area for his professionalism and craftsmanship in his roofing business.

    He will be sorely missed by everyone who knew him and, I'm sure, from everyone who enjoyed his posts on this message board.

    R.I.P. Mark. A gentleman.

    I have been posting on and off since 1998 and although I never met him I certainly exchanged discussions with him on many occasions. Always came across as a friendly and open minded person. Strange to think that a poster / moniker has disappeared off the board, but sadly behind it a real person with real family and friends feeling the real loss. Awfully sad news.

    Sad to see you leave Alien. Certainly a true blue. RIP.
