Fred The Bugle

[A Non E Mouse]

Just read on the official website that Fred has passed away this evening.

 

I never knew Fred personally but admired him for his persistants in playing that instrument in far flung corners of the country.

 

My deepest sympathy goes to his friends and family on this sad occassion.

 

Apparently there will be aminutes silence before the game on Saturday.

[YELLOW]

Very very sad. The guy was a legend.

[Guest]

Very sad day for Canvey Island, not just CIFC!

 

He leaves a big hole, sympathy to all his family.

I did not know him personally either, but I am really gutted over this. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

[The Great Eckscape]

What a great man, his memory will live on in CIFC for many years to come.

 

RIP

[Lefty]

a great man will be missed didn't realy know him but i do remenber a couple of seasons ago we where at a pre-season friendly in july and he started play jingle bells only he could do that and i dont think any one knew wether he was to late or to early with that.

THERE IS ONLY ONE FRED THE BUGLE, ONE FRED THE BUGLE

THERE IS ONLY ONE FRED THE BUGLE, ONE FRED THE BUGLE

Sad news indeed, Fred carried on supporting his club even when in pain, a true supporter.

 

Rest In Peace

With a bit more reflection - can you imagine how many people in grounds up and down the country would inadvertantly remember Fred and his Bugle?

 

You'd only have to mention to opposition fans about the "bloke who played the Trumpet" and specialised in Christmas carols at any time of the year! and they would probably jog a memory.

 

How many opposition fans commented, good and bad, on his ability to play that instrument and on occassions gave him a chorus of abuse about where they would stick his "trumpet"......

 

Very sad.

[Canvey Fan 1926]

sad to hear of any gull pass on.

 

didnt really know fred, but could always hear him rain or shine.

 

a 1 minute silence is well deserved, or should it be a minute of clapping?

[Linneycifc]

Heavens just gotten a bit noisier! RIP Fred.One word seems to have summed him up LEGEND

Very sad.

I was thinking the very same thing, he was (in)famous, didn`t care if he was standing on a terrace on his own or standing in the middle of the Yellow Army you would always hear Jingle Bells.

Before Fred had his trumpet he played the bugle. Of course, it's very limited with three notes so he soon invested in a trumpet.

 

Fred always made sure he was as good as he could be at anything he attempted, so he signed up for the Castle Point Brass Band to get practice for match days.

 

After a couple of months playing, he only went and won best newcommer at their annual rewards, leaving the room of young trumpet playing kids devestated!

 

Of course, though slightly embarrased, he accepted the award!

[Eastside Urchin]

condolences to all who knew him and his family,never had the pleasure of being in his company at a match that i can remember but it is always sad when someone passes away

R.I.P

[Sharming Paula]

Such a shame. Fred and that 'bloody' trumpet will be missed.

 

RIP mate. My thoughts and best wishes go to all his family and friends

[Mini Goose]

Fred the bugle, gone but never forgotten, R.I.P fella

[Phil Old Boy]

You Are My Sunshine

My only sunshine.

You make me happy

When skies are grey.

You'll never know, dear,

How much I love you.

Please don't take my sunshine away

 

The other nite, dear,

As I lay sleeping

I dreamed I held you in my arms.

When I awoke, dear,

I was mistaken

And I hung my head and cried.

 

You are my sunshine,

My only sunshine.

You make me happy

When skies are grey.

You'll never know, dear,

How much I love you.

Please don't take my sunshine away.

 

I'll always love you

And make you happy

If you will only say the same

But if you leave me

To love another

You'll regret it all some day;

 

You are my sunshine,

My only sunshine.

You make me happy

When skies are grey.

You'll never know, dear,

How much I love you.

Please don't take my sunshine away.

 

You told me once, dear

You really loved me

And no one else could come between

But now you've left me

And love another

You have shattered all my dreams;

 

You are my sunshine,

My only sunshine.

You make me happy

When skies are grey.

You'll never know, dear,

How much I love you.

Please don't take my sunshine away.

 

Louisiana my Louisiana

the place where I was borne.

White fields of cotton

-- green fields clover,

the best fishing

and long tall corn;

 

You are my sunshine,

My only sunshine.

You make me happy

When skies are grey.

You'll never know, dear,

How much I love you.

Please don't take my sunshine away.

 

You are my sunshine,

My only sunshine.

You make me happy

When skies are grey.

You'll never know, dear,

How much I love you.

Please don't take my sunshine away.
