I have known for quite a while that Neil had been sick, in fact terminally sick. He'd left the league several years ago and then reached out to me personally to return to his beloved Athens team as one of his last wishes. I know that the BBA made him extremely happy. Even though he sometimes got frustrated with the league and other times heated, it was fueled by passion for the game and the league.
Neil, in retirement, had a smallholding in England.

Never thought of it that way, your right though 
we try to go as self sufficient as we can, we have chickens, goats, bees, pigs, cows. The only ones we have for meat are the pigs, my daughters have all left home but one comes for the honey and wax from the bees and the milk from the goats and cows, makes cheese from the milk and sells it, we split the profits. Also horses but there stabled here, not ours. Plus I grow alot of fruit and veg which we sell, then the old lady bakes for farmers markets.

Hi
Just thought you and your league should know my Uncle Neil passed away New Years Day, it was a Gods Send really as he'd been in alot of pain the last few weeks.
He talked of the Brewster alot, mostly the players he would give stories/life to and members he would talk to like Mike but his favourite was Vic, I know when he said Vic had passed my Uncle wasn't the same with OOTP. He would also say a guy called Randy would annoy him but he respected him, to a lesser extent you would as well but he also respected you. He would give a wry smile when he had a moan, I know he enjoyed it to be honest.
He was with my Auntie and his 4 girls when he passed, all considered he was in good spirits having watched his Dallas Cowboys win, like I say thought you should know, after all its down to my Uncle and the Brewster I'm hooked on OOTP.
