36 Years of hurt Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 This weekend will have an extra poignancy for those who were at Shrewsbury's Gay Meadow for our 1-0 win there on 10 March 1990 - new signing Dean Horrix was killed in a car crash after the game. Just 3 games for City but not forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cider Queen Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Indeed.. remember coming home chuffed with the win. Only to hear few hours later about his tragic death. 24 years eh? Who could believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 I was at the match and watched the players arrive at the ground. Dean actually bumped into me and apologised. To hear of his death a few hours later really shocked me. Didn't he die after going back to Millwall (?) for a farewell dinner with his ex team mates. I think his wife was driving too.

Kingswood Robin Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Yes, I can still remember him turning around to us at the end of the game and punching the air. Very sad indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleepy1968 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 I wasn't a regular away follower at the time but a couple of us in work badgered another city fan into driving up. Glad I was there. Sort of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartolona Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Always thought it was after the Chester away game for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 That was the only time I've been there, until Saturday. I remember turning up to play football on the Sunday morning and being told, we were worried it was Bob as the guy that told us didn't know the name just that it was a striker. It was a real shame looked a decent player in the short time he was here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superjack Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Shockingly sad. A truly terrible event in my favourite season (apart from finishing second to... well, I can't recall who finished first). The biggest compliment that I can pay him is that in those three games he looked as good a player as his successor, Nicky Morgan. Hope he still rests in peace.

Port Said Red Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 I mentioned this in a post only a couple of weeks back, it was a shocking moment for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TV Tom Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Last minute Dave Smith winner if I recall correctly, so very sad. There that day myself, Smith certainly was the scorer with a late goal, we had a couple of good wingers then with Smith on one side & Gavin on the other feeding super-bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sglosbcfc Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 I was at the match and watched the players arrive at the ground. Dean actually bumped into me and apologised. To hear of his death a few hours later really shocked me. Didn't he die after going back to Millwall (?) for a farewell dinner with his ex team mates. I think his wife was driving too. I was at the game, so shocked to hear the news the following day. I believe his wife had been drinking and was to blame for the smash that killed him. For once our judiciary had its sensible hat on and realised there was no way of punishing her any more than she would already be punishing herself and let her off with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Maesknoll Red Posted March 6, 2014 Admin Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Was a terrible event and IIRC, the next game between us and Millwall was a fairly muted affair (off the pitch) as a mark of respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
