There's nothing that can be said at a terrible time like this, having lost my mum (another proud Leyther) several years back. But perhaps there is some consolation to know that the ones we love touch so many thousands of people in small but important ways, that their mark on the world lives on. I never (knowingly) met Rantunrave, but through these boards we were part of a community, part of a shared love of town, team and sport. I think the tributes here reflect just how important we all are to one another.

The man spoke out for what he believed in, and nudged us all in our way of thinking, and from this small window we could all see a passionate, committed person who cared about the things that mattered to him. The sense of loss is incalcuable, but so too are the infinite number of ways that our lives have been shaped for the better by those who have gone.

Our thoughts are with you all.

Excellent post.

Really saddened to hear of his passing, my thoughts are with you and your family, Ste.

RIP.

Hope the lads do him proud on Sunday as I'm sure he'll be watching from above.

I too add my sympathies to his family.

To lose someone close is always hard and like others who have lost close ones you never forget them and when you meet other family members their name comes up and someone invariably has an amusing story about what they said or did. It helps and will make you smile.

I must have met Ratunrave many times at games over the seasons past even if I didn,t know him as Ratunrave.We may have spoken about our team we may have not but we sure had one thing in common.

Ratunrave will be in his families thoughts for many years to come we can be sure of that.

Can I add to these messages - a very sad time for friends and family.

I always enjoyed reading his views and knowing Steve, I can't begin to say how he'll be feeling but through these boards my best wishes reach out.
