One of many from that era, like Ronnie & Tuba that are sadly no longer with us. Yes true walk past the sun and expect to see those characters great memories of great blokes 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victory Park Reds Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 I feel a bit of a fraud coming on after only knowing him since the 89/90 season. The man is/was an absolute city legend. Funny as **** as well. r.I.p Beanie thanks for the Eagle travel coach trips.xxxx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 Very sad news. Was always good company on the few England trips I’d been on. Always very friendly and welcoming, and a very calming nature. RIP Beanie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freezer Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 Goodnight Ian. Pleasure knowing you mate, not only at City games but good times in South Bristol and down town. As others have said, a top man with the sharpest dry wit. Always remember queuing up to get in Busbys. Beanie had leather sandals on(I know but the height of fashion then), the bouncer said he couldn't come in "cause he had holes in his shoes" , Beanie said, "you've got holes in your shoes", bouncer said "no I haven't", Bean said "how do you put 'em on then". Brilliant. Commiserations to Mandy and family and friends. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said. One away day on Eagle travel that I do recall (there were lots), was when we went to Leicester away in the FA Cup at Filbert street. Jackie did the business on the pitch and Eagle travel did the biz off the pitch. Full coach going up, 6 City fans on the coach on the way home! One mad day. Not gonna share too many details on here but you were always guaranteed a lively day out. Great fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not gonna share too many details on here but you were always guaranteed a lively day out. Great fun. Underground Bar in Krakow. Small group of City sat at a table. Team of Polish skins come in. One big skin strides up and says "you have ten seconds to leave our bar now". Beanie turns looks the skinhead up and down with disdain and utters this. "Bristol City is running the show and we will leave in ten minutes". Bean turns back around leaving Bald leader not knowing what to say or do. That was it .. Beaned. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted September 26, 2022 Report Share Posted September 26, 2022 Like NickJ, I only properly met Beanie for the first time 12 or so years ago but enjoyed several great England away days in his company. Really lovely man, and as others have said, great wit. Rest in peace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
