I am hearing that Brian Sabin, well-known to many long time supporters, sadly passed away last night.
RIP Brian.
Big Brian a lifelong Latics mon and Lancashire cricket fan always in and about the action any freebies going and Brian was there, still could do with 15,000 more like him.
what a character he was i remember at owd springy away games on coach brian had his regular seat nobody could sit on it right at front
also got stick from most people as being a free loader always had free tickets to get in away games
R I P BRIAN
No matter what people might say about his away ticket shenanigans, he was always there home and away and was always around the club doing his bit.
He was a true Latics fan and like someone else has said we could do with another 15000 like him.
Condolences to all his relatives and friends.
RIP big man.
Hey get off that seat! Used to be first on the Latics liner but he did love a freemans! Loved the club and glad we gave him such happy memories in the last decade after he stuck by the club through thick and thin!
Lets not get in to a slanging match over something as sensitive as this, I think VAT was merely meaning that Brian was there from the days of old, back in the Springfield Park days, and those of the younger generation who have only been coming post-premiership era would not know who he was.
Back in the day when I travelled on the supporters club coach early eighties I suppose, Brian would always be already in his seat. So sad and far too soon after losing Danny. True blue RIP marrer.
