My scouse mate during college years
He took me to Anfield , I wasn't impressed , I took him to see City at Bury etc and he loved it
One of the first people to be pulled over the barriers I saw divvy in the Royal Hallamshire Hospital and stuck a small ccfc welshdragon banner on his wall
Every Christmas since them I have exchanged Xmas cards with his family . He was cared for 24 7 by his devoted mother till he died
Rest in Peace Andrew Divvy Devine
So sad.
RIP Divvy.
I nearly converted him to a bluebirdQuote:

To have had to have cared for your son in these circumstances for so many decades that birthed only false hope and remain sane was a superhuman effort of the human spirit.
RIP Andrew Devine
May his memory be a blessing.
Rest in peace Andrew !!
Sorry for your loss sludge
Awful.
You’ve mentioned him before.
I’m sorry for your loss.
So sad.
I wonder how many other families are still caring for those who suffered life changing injuries on that terrible day.
I am relieved aswell that his cause of death has been recorded as unlawful, recognising the brain damage received, rather than the pneumonia (I think) he had at the end.
RIP
How many are fit and well on the outside yet inside after all these years are still thinking, ‘Why me? Why did I survive, when a mate or mates alongside them perished? Dreadful, horrible experience it must have been with so many more victims that it seems, fans with hidden turmoil, tragic.Quote:

Useful footballer
One of the first people I met in the student flats , bumped into him in the TV room , talked football and he was soon coming with me to city games locally
We got trounced on a Tuesday night at Bury once and he was walking around shaking everyone's hand saying I am a scouser but you are my second team , the football is crap but what a laugh I am having
Space cadet
Tragic and very sad. That terrible event still claiming lives.
People talk about "closure" these days, but it's not always possible is it.
RIP and condolences to Sludge and everyone else who knew Andrew Devine.
Thank you BobQuote:
