  • Colin (Seabird) Phillips.

    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

                Thank-you, 'Bob,' for letting me know. Colin and I sat next to each other for a number of seasons in the Ninian Stand before his illness curtailed his visits to watch the City.

                We always had good chats about the football on offer and CCFC in general. His comments were always perceptive and worthy of consideration. His words were like an oasis in a desert of one-line put downs that litter the airspace these days. These conversations I have missed, as too, his contributions on your blog.

                His daughter attended games with him for a time before work, I believe, prevented her.

                Thank-you for the chats, fellow Bluebird. May your memory be a blessing.

                RIP.

                            Always sad to hear of a fan's passing, but nice to hear from those who knew them.
                            RIP Colin
