I learned overnight that Colin (who had posted for years on here under the name Seabird) passed away on Tuesday. I knew he had not enjoyed the best of health in recent years and no longer went to matches, but his interest in City remained as strong as ever.
I only ever met Colin face to face once I believe, but social media can help you recognise the good uns in this world as well as the not so good uns - for all sorts of reasons, Colin was definitely in the former camp.
He was a generous, probably over generous, supporter of my blog down the years and a fairly regular contributor to its feedback section - I'll miss his wise words and his Twitter contributions which made clear that we had a common love of animals.
I know at least one of his daughters is a regular at Cardiff City Stadium and I offer her and the rest of Colin's family my condolences at this sad time.
RIP
