Such sad news. A regular poster on here and joined this messageboard back in 2007 like me (he might have even joined before that date).

RIP Tony

Re: CARDIFF 55

Met him a couple of times through the Trust and was quite often in touch with him by e-mail. On a personal level, I very much appreciated that he was someone on here who often answered, nearly always correctly, questions in the seven decades quiz on the blog. I can also remember him offering his extensive collection of City memorabilia to help with my research for the books I did.

Such a shock to learn of his passing, condolences to his family and friends.

Re: CARDIFF 55

This morning I received a devastating phone call that Tony Holloway aka Cardiff 55 had passed away on Monday.
Tony had been a keen City fan since the late 60s and I think he once told me his favourite season was the 75/6 promotion season.
I met him in the mid 80s due to our interest in programme collecting and have been friends ever since.
I never really went to matches with him as he always preferred to sit in the grandstand. That is until this season when I went to the stadium with him for the 2 friendlies and the Caraboa cup ties. I will cherish those memories.
I will miss you old friend. Sincere condolences to his family. R.I.P.

As a fellow collector Id known Tony for many a year. Constantly had banter with him over the years and was a good friend. I was? devastated to hear that he passed on Monday as I had the only spoken to him days before.

RIP Tony

Re: CARDIFF 55

Like everyone else here, shocked to hear the news. I only knew him as a regular well informed poster.
I am sure that the OP will pass on the many messages of condolences to his family.

I never know what to say in these circumstances as I don't know who has passed, deep down though I feel saddened we have lost a like minded soul .

RIP Cardiff 55 , hopefully we'll beat those jacks .
