I've been asked by Paula, (aka Squeaky) to share the heartbreaking news of the passing of her partner, Ian, who many of you may remember as 666.
Ian was a familiar face at home and away games before the stadium move. He was also an active member of the forum community a few years back.
He passed away last Wednesday, November 13th after battling MND for the past few years.
Despite his tough exterior and mischievous nature, Ian had a heart of gold. I recall on away games he would hear of West Ham fans without a room for the night and offer them to share his hotel room, often smuggling in 6 or 7 strangers and never asking for anything in return. He had a very protective nature and would ensure he was a deterring presence during tense interactions with any rival supporters.
A great friend and huge West Ham fan - he will be missed.

Pretty sure I met him many moons ago, but my memory is shot to bits these days, sorry for your loss x

I think Ian blessed her with that moniker because she's scouse.

Nope. Are you think of Steve Bacon?
He passed away Friday before last.
