PJH RIP 11:25 - Feb 10 with 8809 viewsPhilTWTD

Just been told the very sad news that long-term poster PJH died before Christmas. He will be remembered on here in particular for his memories of Sir Alf Ramsey's team but also just for being a lovely bloke, who I'm sure most regulars will have had a chat with at some point over the years. RIP Paul.

That is indeed very sad news. As well as his memories of the Ramsey years I also had some great post and PM exchanges about the Isle of Rum. Will be sorely missed.

That is very sad. As we were of roughly the same age we en exchanged messages about Town in the 50s and 60s. We did disagree on the best ever British rock ‘n roll record.

Sad news.
I met up with him a few times for a spot of lunch, a pint and a chat.
A very interesting man, with a fantastic memory of years following the town.
RIP PJH.

That is really sad news. I enjoyed reading his insightful posts and particularly his annual tribute to the 61/62 champions. He will be very much missed.

Thank you for posting. I’m really sorry to hear that. His posts were always informative and his knowledge of ITFC from the late 50s/60s fascinating.

RIP Paul - once a blue, always a blue.

Oh no, what shocking news.

Went to a couple of games at Elland Rd. with him. He was the loveliest guy you could ever wish to meet.

Oh my God. This is a real shocker to read.

PJH was the go to person on here when it came to Town history. He supported us at a time that few on here did.

He was a brilliant presence on the forum. Another TWTD legend in the sky. RIP mate.

Sad news. I only met him the once, when we unknowingly stood next to eachother at an away game three or four years back and worked it out on here a couple of days later. Nice bloke and obviously a true blue. RIP.

Much enjoyed his posts on the 1961/62 season, him keeping it in the present stopped it becoming ancient history. Would have loved to have been around then to watch it, but I spent most of the 61/62 season in the womb.

That's terribly sad news. I never had the pleasure of meeting PJH in real life, but really enjoyed his contributions on this forum over the years. Always came across as a very knowledgeable and respectful poster, one of the absolute good guys for sure and Town through and through.

My thoughts and condolences go to his family and everyone who knew him.

RIP a stalwart of the board. Phil, didn't he do a bit of a lengthy Eulogy in relation to the 61/62 Champions on one of the anniversaries a few years back? Probably the 60th. Would love to see that again.

I met him at a few games over the years and always said hello and a chat. One of the many decent folk I’ve crossed paths with from here, it was a pleasure and privilege to chat football with him and if his loved ones are reading this, you have my deepest condolences.

The board is slightly dimmer without his contributions. A proper fan and lovely bloke.

Really saddened to hear this… I never met him (as far as I know), but he was always knowledgeable and courteous on here, and his posts about the glory days were always interesting to read.

RIP PJH.

That really is very sad news. Like many on here I met him a few times at away games, a lovely gentle man with an unquestionable love (and knowledge) of all things ITFC.

He will be missed.
