I along with Catpiss attended Steve's funeral today.

Such a very sad occasion given how young Steve was and the manner of his passing. The funeral was very well attended and there was many people wearing the Primrose and Blue. It was also good to see our brothers and sisters from Saints, Wigan and Leigh all wearing their teams jerseys. Steve's Coffin was carried by people wearing both Wire & Wigan shirts.

For those who didn't know Steve he truly was one of Lifes good Guys. He always had a friendly word to say to people at the match and always had a smile on his face. Steve loved the Wire absolutely loved them.

Only knew him through the forums but reading his Facebook posts and then only a few days later learning he'd gone was truly heartbreaking.

I've not been on rlfans for several years but felt the need to reply to this post.

I heard about Steve's passing from Catpiss a couple of weeks ago. Actually it was on cup final day, a couple of hours after we'd been beaten. It certainly put things into perspective.

I met Steve several times, usually at Magic, or at the Stoop. He was a genuinely nice guy. poop hair, but a nice guy all the same I can't comment, like some, about Steve's "condition" (I don't even though if that's the right bloody word) as I have no real experience. So I won't.

I hope Steve is now in peace. God (or whoever...) bless you my friend.

As requested, this is Ste. Chances are wire fans may have seen him wearing this bleeding hat in the south stand, it with a mass of curly hair at times.
