    Always enjoyed seeing his name pop up back in the day when he posted. Looks like we lost a good one.

    RIP, fella. Condolences to his family.

    It's always very sad to lose a CCMB contributor and City fan.

    By his own request he is bowing out quietly. Just Margam Crematorium next Friday at 11 a.m. He was 86.
    I rarely knew what he was going on about, but I had no idea that he was so old! :-(

    I’m sure it was posted a while ago, that the OP had also passed away. Very sad.

    Re: 'Caliburn'

    Royale has been an occasional contributor to my blog. Don’t think he’s sent anything to the Feedback section this season, but he did last - I’d say it’s about ten months since I heard from him.

    As some of you will know, Cal wrote a very good autobiography of his younger years, Royale did one as well which I enjoyed reading - particularly the bits about his mate Brian Clough.

    Yes, he was very good, but that's gone very quickly.
