Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 30 September, 2008 Share Posted 30 September, 2008 I am sure you all will be sad to hear of the death of a true Saints fan, Bob 'Clyde' Weekes. Bob passed away last night after fighting a losing battle against cancer. He was the supporter who fell over and broke his hip outside Home Park in January and whilst he was in hospital for the fracture they discovered that he had bone cancer. I know many of you will have met or seen Bob on his trips to virtually every home and away match for many years. I knew Clydie for over thirty years and he will be sadly missed. One more Saint in heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micky Posted 30 September, 2008 Share Posted 30 September, 2008 Tragic news - didn't know Bob, but remember the thread on here after he took his fall, and it was very obvious that he was a well liked and respected Saints fan. My thoughts and condolences to all of his family. Rest peacefully Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Posted 30 September, 2008 Share Posted 30 September, 2008 Didn't know the guy well but saw him on the floor at Plymouth and recognised him from many an away day. Never knew his name but chatted to him a couple of times, the last time being at Oakwell last season. A thoroughly decent chap, RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Wilde Posted 30 September, 2008 Share Posted 30 September, 2008 I am very sorry to hear of the death of Bob Weekes. It is always very sad to hear of the passing of a loyal Saints supporter. May I extend my heartfelt best wishes to his family. Whilst writing I would also like to extend my extreme gratitude to those supporters who turned up tonight and gave their vociferous and unconditional support to our young team. I know that the lads appreciate your support very much and their performance tonight did all true Saints fans proud. Kind regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robsk II Posted 30 September, 2008 Share Posted 30 September, 2008 RIP - death is always a tragedy. Didn't know the guy but of course, a saints fan will be missed, and it is evident he was a well liked, respected, decent fellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldsarum Posted 1 October, 2008 Share Posted 1 October, 2008 Heard the sad news about 5PM last night. There were a lot of upset London Saints in pub before the game. Thought that last nights perormance was a fitting tribute to Clydie. Was almost like he was there helping Kelvin out at times in second half to maintain our clean sheet. Bob I hope you enjoyed watching the game from up high last night mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkeith Posted 1 October, 2008 Share Posted 1 October, 2008 There is a picture of Clydie on the London Saints website. Here is the link. Clydie is the one with the tache. I think a few more people might recognise him than realise. I certainly remember him always being in the Waterloo on the way to the Dell. Sadly missed.
