Very sad. Terrible ref, but that's irrelevant. Someone's husband, dad and grandad. No age at all 65. RIP Gary. No doubt Big Eric and Rimmo will be waiting at the Pearly Gates to give him an earful!
For a minute I thought our coach recruitment was going really left-field...! RIP to Mr Willard - who might have been the most annoying, useless b****r in black, but he wasn't old at all and didn't deserve that.
His display that day still sticks with me as one of the worst moments I ever had at a football match. That aside this is dreadful for his family and friends and my condolences go out to them RIP.
Good or bad he is a big part in a big moment in our history. RIP Mr Willard, all forgiven and we can put that game away now, your family and friends thoughts are far more important.
Condolences to his family and I wouldn't wish this on anyone. Still, I cannot forgive what he did to our club then, and he also mentored the useless **** who shafted us at Wembley. I'm not sure he forgave us either
