| MY UNCLES FUNERAL TODAY - OVER 50 YEARS SEASON TICKET HOLDER 11:35 - Apr 23 with 1525 views | ONEKEVINBEATTIE |
Hi all this is my first ever post on here having read comments for several years but felt I had to post something today.
It's my uncle Micks (Michael Elliston's) funeral today at Ipswich Crematorium. He is being cremated with an Ipswich Town scarf and Edward Ebeneezer playing over the speakers. He was a season ticket holder for over 50 years and Ipswich Town was his one passion in life. Sadly his health has declined in the last few years almost in correlation with the fortunes of his beloved team.
Anyway we have had to clear his house and found hundreds of football programmes, many of the modern ones have been thrown away but I have some of the older ones on sale on ebay under my name: kevintopple. If there are any programme collectors out there please have a look. I'd like them to go to a genuine Ipswich supporter if possible, or if anyone knows of an Ipswich Town archive where they can be donated that would be great.
Many thanks and COYB! |  | | |  |

Will have a look, lost my uncle and father last year. Uncle was a season ticket holder of many years (dad, like the rest of the family was spurs, I bucked the trend!) |  | | |

Rest in peace a real true blue.
I don't have the space for loads of football programmes now. I used to have hundreds. But I hope they find a good and appreciative home.
All the best mate. |  |

Thanks for messages of support yesterday. I seem to have deleted a message from TractorCam, not sure how but I apologise! Funeral went off well, with Ipswich scarf on top of his coffin and Come on the Town as we exited the Crematorium so i think we did him proud. | | | |

Sincere condolences for your loss. It would be great if you could find a good home for the memorabilia, or sell them for a local charity or to go towards the beatie statue would be nice as every time you visited Portman road it would be very special for you. Hope it all goes well for you and your family. | | | |

My message is still there mate no worries! Glad he got a good send off, i'm sure that's exactly how he would have wanted it to go. | |
