RIP DAD: Spare ticket for tonight v Mackems

What a kind and thoughtful gesture in a time of personal pain.
Your dad did a good job with you. May he rest in peace.
 
Condolences to you mate. I bet your dad was quite a character - never met an Irishman i didn’t like 👍🏻 I’m sure your dad would want a win for The Boro tonight as well
 
Sorry to read this. A kind gesture in the hardest of times.

Best to you and your family.
 
So sorry to hear this and what wonderful memories you have. Take care and look after yourself and your family

Good morning all.

The thread title is self-explanatory. I have a ticket for tonight's match.

I cannot attend. My dad passed away on Friday, 2nd September. He was an Irish, Manchester United fan. He took me to my first Boro game almost 41 years ago to the day he passed. It is ironic. It was Jim Platt's testimonial. George Best guest for Boro. It was against Sunderland on 9th September, 1981. Not many people can say they saw Best in their first match. I recall my dad being excited, walking through Albert Park, talking to Boro fans. They obviously clocked on to his Irish accent and knew who he came for.

He never got me to support United, though I do have a soft spot for them. He always liked the Irish Boro players the best though Juninho and Mark Viduka were two he grudgingly admired. He also liked Tony Mowbray, so it is fitting Boro play Sunderland with Mogga in attendance.

The ticket is in the South Stand, Block 56. First come, first serve. Pass me your email address and I'll send it by pdf. You will have to print it out at home.( Please don't be a Sunderland fan or cause trouble! The last thing I want is a stadium ban due to circumstances beyond my control!)

Terrible news birbeck but yet somehow so inspiring. Incredible gesture at such a sad time.
Love and best wishes from Oz and may your cherished dad rest in peace.
