    Was a good guy Alec. Can't remember how it came about but when I had the season book up in NW upper. If I ever couldn't use it I would leave it with Alec and I know he would give it to folk who otherwise wouldn't get to many games.

    Didn't know him but based on the replies, he seemed like a really great guy.

    Sleep well Alec.

    RIP Alec,

    I never met him, but family members did, and he sorted them out for tickets.

    Sad news.

    Sorry to hear this, i never knew Alec on a personal level, on the forum he always came across as a really decent guy, at times his sharp wit and cutting humour would come through in his posts, a kind and caring human being, the tributes are a reflection of this.

    Thoughts are with Alec's family at this difficult time.

    Very sad, lovely old Bhoy. Helped me out on multiple occasions with tickets when I come over from Australia. Used to meet him outside the Pools office. Sad news. RIP pal
