yes my cousin and godfather

Sorry to hear the news of Ted, a lovely bloke and a one time regular on here. The sad loss of another great fan of the club.

sad news
not many characters left from the Christie park days

Very sad news, my thoughts are with Andrew and his family.

That is really sad. Lovely friendly bloke and always had time for a chat.

RIP Ted / Oracle.

Very sad news. Nice bloke.

RIP Oracle. Never knowingly met him but loved his pearls of wisdom back in the early days of Shrimpsvoices (before it was Shrimpsvoices...)

Always very sad when someone passes but I don't think I knew him . Was he a figure I would have seen around the globe

Thank you all for your kind comments.
He didn't spend to much time at the Globe, probably just our first season there, mainly due to his age & his health, but at CP he was there everyday helping Chesh for quite a few years all voluntary.
Thanks again
Andrew

Ted was a true Shrimp and a lovely bloke with a great sense of humour, rest in peace.

One of the founding fathers of the famed Potting Shed at Christie Park. Was fortunate to have spent many an hour in Ted's company and will be remembered for his grace and charm.

RIP. Never to be forgotten.

I got to know Ted mainly from doing the off bit of volunteering round the club as a teenager. My work experience at 16 15 years ago (yikes) consisted of sweeping for a short amount of time and chewing the fat with Ted and Chesh drinking coffees. Two great blokes.

Sorry to hear about Ted. He was a great character and did a lot for the club.
My condolences to his family.

Really sorry to hear of Ted's passing, Top bloke I had many a laugh with back in the non league days whilst helping Chesh and Terry with any odd jobs at C.P on my days off.
I know our Gavin will be sad to hear this news and my sincere condolences to Andrew and the family.

God bless Ted, you'll be sadly missed.
