Dick_Valentine Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 Apologies mods, realised shortly after my post that this isn't terrace talk but still think worth a mention. Sad indeed. 2016 can do one now, too many taken too soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewrat Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 My son was a fan of them. When we took our seats at Wembley to watch the Forest final we were on the halfway line opposite the Royal Box. I was just complaining to my friend that he had got tickets on the wrong side when my son turned around and said these are the best seats ever. I turned around and the Inspirals were sat right behind us. It was his birthday and he ended up with loads of IS stuff.Later they got him backstage at a concert. As an old man with 2 music degrees When I eventually got to hear them play live they were incredibly tight and Craig was a fantastic drummer. Far too early to be taken. Rest in peace Craig.

Forest fans still talk about playing football with the Inspirals on one of the M1 service areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaticsPete Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 There'll be a good few latics fans who don't have an inkling of who he was. Wasn't he a City fan too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcforever Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I for one will be joining in the applause and I'm sure plenty of other fans will do the same.
