Really sad news indeed. Had some contact with him recently. A grange end legend. Sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Remember being in the City ground (Nottingham) It kicked off, I (As a fifteen year old) was crapping myself after being hit in the head by a battery or small stone, don't worry son he said, we'll ****ing do them after the game, seconds later he was hit with a half house brick and stretchered off past the Trent end on a stretcher, giving the forest fans the V's as he was carried past :) RIP Pongo
Llanrumney legend passes RIP
I started going away with the City in '76. In those days it could be a bit lairy.
If you had any connections with the City back then, you would have no doubt met Pongo.
RIP
Was he around in the time of the big guy Frankie in the Grange End?Quote:

Peg killed himself and his kids a few years back by running a hose from his exhaust in his garage in abertridwrQuote:

Frankie definitely had Peg in his crew .
Went to dangerous footy event with them Cwnty v Ipswich friendly they thought us being dressed in blue would be a blast, oh how that went so wrong.
