I don't think a more reasoned or level headed poster has ever graced these boards, always enjoyed his tales of icenian senior and the family too. My best wishes to you all.

I'd like to echo Fishoutofwaters post too. I didn't know Icey either and in the last year or so of posting on here i've instantly recognised his knowledge and respectability. Whether you agree with him or not, you respect his opinion and he rarely if ever lost his cool in response. From my short time in comparison to his 11000 odd, i know two things for sure.

A. He knew his Grimsby, both town and club.

And

B. This forum has lost one of the foundations on which it prides itself.

RIP Icey, condolences to your family, my thoughts are with you Leicmariner and Icey senior.

Bless.


I was there, the day Bradley Wood scored a 35 yarder!

From the black and white striped shirts
To the fish in the sea
You'll hear us singing
Coz we are Grimsby.

You won't hear us crying
But you'll hear us shout
Coz we are the Grimsby
And this is our chant.......... Grimsby! Grimsby! Grimsby!

I knew Icy when i was growing up in my early teens, in fact i knew the whole family for a while. I can only say that Mick was the same in life as he was on here, well respected, well educated, well manered and well liked by all. My thoughts are with his wife and children at this time. It really is a sad loss to all.


I will never forget where I was the day Kennedy was stabbed.

Quoted from leicmariner
It is my sad duty to announce that my father Mick Crampin (known on these forums as theicenian) passed away suddenly on the morning of Friday July 8th.
An official notice will appear in the Evening Telegraph later in the week.


That is so sad. He was always entertaining, reasoned and a joy to read. He was a gentleman on here and he will be much missed.

I don't come on the fishy as much as i used to and to be honest when I opened this thread I was so shocked I felt sick.  Icey and I used to have some good old chats in private messages about family etc.  I went through a very difficult period in my life a couple of years ago and Icey used to regularly message me to see how my family and I were doing, such a true gentleman.  I last caught up with him on May 6th, I have just read the message he sent me, he knew I was due to get married and he actually asked me if the lucky man was Biccys haha.  

totally gutted but so pleased we had our chats, will miss them.

RIP Icey xx

Very shocked to just learn of this.

Always recognisable through your clarity of thought, knowledge and wit - you will be greatly missed by all on TheFishy.
