Yup, mate, I did. Although Mick also made me smile when he said "Norman wold be telling me off now for being a soft sod".
I thought Mick gave a great speech in extremely trying circumstances. There was a lot there and everyone felt the emotion of the occasion when Mick spoke. In addition the rest of the speakers and the vocal performance by Mrs Dyer was also in keeping with the day. Rimmo would have been proud of his deserving send off. He would also have laughed out loud at the Vicar calling him Mr Manchester in his opening statement instead of Mr Barnsley. RIP Rimmo, you were the best man I ever met, in any walk of life.
I saw you and your dad in the legends suite afterwards pal but didn't want to come over and intrude etc. If you and Eric could send me a couple of paragraphs about the great man though to include in the Leeds programme I'd be very grateful pal. Felt things today that I've never felt. The man was great but it's a family trait because boy are they all so bloody great. Proud to have been in such company and it puts the nonsense ive read today into perspective. Your dad looked well by the way.
