    I find it difficult to believe that it is now 8 years since Steve lost his fight against cancer. I remain in touch with his widow Deirdre. We are planning to meet up for the Scunny game in November.

    Pass on our best - his diaries & musings were a point of rationale and circumspection in the mentalness that is this site sometimes.

    Steve was a great help to Laura when times were a bit rough for her. He's still sorely missed by her and the rest of us.

    Much missed. His cod-French post was as good as it's ever got on here.

    Time flies, memories fade.

    Steve offered a real sense of perspective in a time of lunacy.

    RIP

    Not in exactly the right order but here are some of Steve Scargill's "Dear Diary" posts which moved a lot of people on here and in particular on the predecessor of this site.
    http://bbs.barnsleyfc.org.uk/forumd...=&pp=30&daysprune=-1&sort=lastpost&order=desc

    Worth a read in front on most of stuff that's posted on here IMHO. Can't believe it's been 8 years. RIP Steve.

    If you don't mind me asking, how is Laura now? I seem to remember she had serious medical problems herself.

    Hello mate, hope things are well down your way.
    Laura started her second year at the University of Cumbria yesterday, studying Forensic Science. She was based on the Newton Rigg campus last year, just outside Penrith. This year she's based on the Ambleside campus. Since her kidney transplant three years ago, Laura has steadily grown physically stronger (touchwood), even though the illness she's suffered from all her life & still suffering, Cystinosis, is incurable.

    Enjoyed Steve's musings and his take on life. As Jay says, his Franglais post was brilliant.
