TIL 1010 5,246 Posted December 19, 2010 Your thoughts are very commendable at this sad time southstand but there is a thread on Ralphs untimely death further down this page started three days ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Morriss 69 Posted December 20, 2010 Seems more like a trip down memory lane rather than a tribute to Ralph Coates.Agree with Tilly, probably an idea if your gonna post a memorial type thread to first not be 3 days late, second check that someone hasn''t already done it and third actually eulogise the person rather than ramble on about City''s cup record.
