oafcprozac Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) I was gutted when I heard the two hostages had been murdered in Nigeria, but i'm even more gutted that he was a local lad. Puts everything into perspective but I'd hope the lads see this and go out and give everything tomorrow in memory of Chris and dedicate their performance to his mum and dad who have done so much for the younger lads at the club. RIP Chris, I hope the bastards that did it burn in hell! Thoughts with his friends, family and all that knew him. We've lost one of our own here.

leeslover Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) I'd spotted that he was from Oldham, terrible news. He looks kind of familiar, not sure if I recognize him from games Thoughts are with his family and loved ones.

Stevie_J Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Read about this terrible news last night but had no idea he was a Latics fan. I always say it but I don't know how anyone carries on after losing one of their kids. RIP Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldhamandy1 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Thoughts are with his family, and good to see the club honouring him with the minute silence at the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcmetty Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Don't want to be controversial, but isn't that a utd shirt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Don't want to be controversial, but isn't that a utd shirt? They made him wear that. I can assure you he was blind folded and had no idea he had it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macca Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Don't want to be controversial, but isn't that a utd shirt? A cheap nigerian replica of a united shirt. Don't think united shirts have had white sleeves? RIP Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc joe Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Absolutely gutted, really sad story, he was really young aswell. My thoughts are with his family at this hard time for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddog Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Wow. Like others have said, I thought this was awful when I heard about it yesterday, but had no idea he was from Oldham, or a Latics fan (not that makes it more awful, just brings it closer to home). Just reading the Fishul article, I've realised I met Chris. I used to know a couple of the YTS lads who lodged there in the mid-90s. He parents were the most welcoming, lovliest people you could hope to meet. I hope they get through this horrible time. RIP Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
help_shiny Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 terrible news, I know a couple of his cousins but dont think I ever met him. Condolences to all his family and friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underdog Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Very sad, did not even realise they were captives for 10 months. Surely something should have been done sooner. Glad the club have offered a minutes silence, hope the lads can honour him more with some goals and three points RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
