Really sad news. I never really corresponded on here with him but enjoyed reading his posts - even this loose connection made me feel sick when I read the thread so I dread to think how those who knew him use feel.

I hope these messages give some crumb of comfort to his family and friends.

RIP WireYed - will be thinking of you at 3:00pm tomorrow.

Only knew him through the forums but reading his Facebook posts and then only a few days later learning he'd gone was truly heartbreaking.

I've not been on rlfans for several years but felt the need to reply to this post.

I heard about Steve's passing from Cat a couple of weeks ago. Actually it was on cup final day, a couple of hours after we'd been beaten. It certainly put things into perspective.

I met Steve several times, usually at Magic, or at the Stoop. He was a genuinely nice guy. Shit hair, but a nice guy all the same I can't comment, like some, about Steve's "condition" (I don't even though if that's the right bloody word) as I have no real experience. So I won't.

I hope Steve is now in peace. God (or whoever...) bless you my friend.

as a mark of respect has anyone got a photo of wire yed that they could share on here?

i would certainly love to be able to put a face to all of the friendly banter that we had over the years

As requested, this is Ste. Chances are wire fans may have seen him wearing this bleeding hat in the south stand, it with a mass of curly hair at times.

Awful news sending love to his family and friends.
