William Gordon Street

Recommended Posts

Unlikely anyone on here would know him but my Grandad passed away on march 14th, aged 82, and we had his funeral today. The reason I'm posting it here is he is a life long Vale fan. My Grandad, my Dad and myself have sat together at the Vale for as long as I can remember. It's only recently, when his illness became to great, that he stopped attending games. Before that nothing, and I mean nothing, would stop him missing the Vale. From our pre match ritual of bacon, cheese & tomato oatcakes to our half time flask of brandy with a nip of coffee, he has been a big part of some of the most memorable times of my life. My visits to Vale park will never be the same again.

 

RIP Grandad.

I didnt know William Gordon Street, but I knew a man just like him, different rituals but same passion and love for the vale... its not easy when they go... but he said he would save me a seat next to the fire...

Sad days with very happy memories.

Strange that I always visited my Granddad when I was very young but kind of lost touch when I grew into my teens and beyond. Only after his death did I find that he was one of our own and had traveled far and wide watching the Vale (my parents didn't do football at all). Having known how much into football he was I very much regret never taking my Granddad to watch a match in his later years. We were not so close as I never thought that we had too much in common but had I known I'm sure that we could and would have spent a match or 2 on the terraces together.

 

RIP Granddad George.
