I only found out about Derek's death today. This is awful news, and difficult to take in. I don't recall if I ever spoke to Derek in person but we had joked with one another on B&WArmy many times in recent years and we had many shared experiences about growing up in Foxbar in ye olde days.

R.I.P good Buddie.

Condolences to his family and friends

I didn't want to post this until it was 100% and Mrs SFS approved.

The idea was respectfully ran past Derek's wife Maureen who also thinks it is a good idea.

On behalf of everyone on Blackandwhitearmy.com, my idea was to get my hands on Billy Mehmets top from the weekend and the top could be put on top of the coffin or whatever Maureen and family wish to do with it. The top Derek's fav player had on the day he passed away, the same day Billy scored a hat-trick.

I'm sure Derek would be happy with this.

Spoke to Billy today and has agreed to give his top (signed) to the family which is very touching, he was saddened by the news and asked for his condolences to be passed on.

Billy Mehmet, an absolute gentleman. :notworthy

Well done David and pass on all our thanks to Billy Mehmet. As you said, a vert fitting gesture in a time when any small show of respect will, i'm sure, be gratefully received by Derek's family.
