Sad news - RIP Swin.

Condolences to Matt and all the family.

Condolences to his family. An often extreme character in expressing his views and agree or disagree a character that's been around for many years on football forums and one that will be missed. When it comes to the internet you don't know a person's own circumstances but you mostly remember their posts which in this case were certainly memorable.

Very sad news. I had the pleasure of meeting Swin on several occasions, the last time was in the Orange Tree at Braintree. He looked ‘weathered’ 😁 that day, with long hair, many, including KLM, didn’t recognise him at first but he told us he wasn’t having his hair cut until he had beaten cancer!

Many on here referenced his posts which I was convinced were not necessarily hard opinion, merely he knew it was winding some people up. I bet he was pissing himself about how it easy it was at times 😁

I saw above someone posting about Swin’s knowledge of certain ‘shops’ in Amsterdam. He certainly loved it there.

He was a great guy to chat with over a beer, he had opinions but also was a good listener too.

Rest In Peace Swin

Condolences to all his family and close friends

Swin used to wind me up a treat, but I guess that says more about me than him!! One thing is for sure and that is this forum will be a poorer place without him. RIP Swin. #UTM

RIP

This is sad news and first and foremost, condolences to Ipswin’s family. A piece of The Fishy jigsaw has been lost, and definitely not an outlying piece of sky, or grass but a piece from the heart of the picture.

RIP Ipswin

Quoted from grimsby pete

I am so sad of the passing of a fellow mariner who I was always happy to call my friend we only met up at the footy but his great sense of humour gave the match that extra enjoyment when I was Sat  next to him.
I enjoyed reading his book which he promised to sign it for me but we never got to meet up for that to happen at least I have a memory of him him on my book shelf.

Swin as he liked to be called will be missed by a lot on here even if you agreed with his comments or not but nobody can deny his passion for our great club.

RIP my friend I will never forget you.

Condolences to you and his family Pete. Swin certainly livened up even the most mundane of threads. A "popcorn at the ready box office" Fishy poster and will be greatly missed..

RIP fellow Mariner..

Sorry for your loss, haven’t seen Swin for years - did meet up a few times a few years back - can’t say always agreed - and he did love a good wind up/rub people up wrong way - what isn’t questionable was his love and passion for Grimsby Town.

Cancer is a b****

RIP

Rip fellow mariner

RIP Swin, you were one of the most entertaining posters on here for many years.
