Admin phantom Posted February 10, 2021 Admin Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 Really gutted to have heard lifelong friend and fellow City fan Lester Solway has lost his battle with cancer. He passed away listening to The Wurzels earlier today. I first met Lester watching Weston-super-Mare FC and other time got more involved in the club there, he even roped me into repainting their old Woodspring Park ground one summer !! When we realised we had a mutual liking of all things Bristol City we started following City more and more, home and away Those that know about the "Yellow Submarine" he was a regular on the early coach trips that were organised including the infamous double decker bus to Sheffield Wednesday He always had a smile on his face and would light up a room with his funny anecdotes and jokes May he now Rest In Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
