Well posted Loudmouth.
I didn’t know Steven, but I knew of him, and apparently he was a fantastic lad.
In the middle of the nation moaning and griping about the World Cup, this puts it all into perspective.
RIP, and deepest condolences to all his family and friends.

RIP mon.In the middle of the nation moaning and griping about the World Cup, this puts it all into perspective.i saw this posted on another site and not a truer word was ever spoken:-
“Two planes landed in England today…One brought back a group of over paid, under achieving footballers.The other brought back seven coffins,each with the Union Jack draped over them. Footballers play for our country, soldiers FIGHT for our country. Footballers give ninety …minutes,…soldiers give their lives…I know who I respect more.. R.I.P. Our Boys“

RIP mon.arky was steve ‘muttywhitedog’ off here?
i used to ask him whenever i saw him,but he always denied it – he could really extract the unrine when on form,and mutty used to say he was from springfield and served in afghanistan so am i adding 2+2 and coming up with 5 or is it him.
Wigan will say good-bye to a hero on Thursday. Gone but not forgotten. RIP Darby xxHope the Town Centre comes to a stand still and shows the lad the respect he deserves.
RIP & Thank You.
The soldier stood and faced his God Which must always come to pass…
He hoped his shoes were shining Just as brightly as his brass.
“Step forward now, you soldier, How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek? To My Church have you been true?”
The soldier squared his shoulders and Said,”No, Lord, I guess I ain’t…
Because those of us who carry guns Can’t always be a saint.
I’ve had to work most Sundays And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I’ve been violent, Because the streets are awfully tough.
But, I never took a penny That wasn’t mine to keep…
Though I worked a lot of overtime When the bills got just too steep,
And I never passed a cry for help, Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me, I’ve wept unmanly tears.
I know I don’t deserve a place Among the people here…
They never wanted me around Except to calm their fears.
If you’ve a place for me here, Lord, It needn’t be so grand,
I never expected or had too much, But if you don’t, I’ll understand.”
There was a silence all around the throne Where the saints had often trod…
As the soldier waited quietly, For the judgment of his God,
“Step forward now you soldier,
Walk peacefully on Heaven’s streets,
You’ve done your time in Hell.”
Dedicated To All That Serve.
