Great article Des... a true County legend who I had the privilege of knowing well when I used to help steward the coaches. Ian brought a smile to everyone's faces, especially on those long journeys to places like Gillingham. I remember he always passed around his copy of the Daily Mirror to let the rest of the supporters on the coach read, and always pointed out any news or mention of Stockport County. Rest in peace Ian, and in true Ian fashion... you clown!!

Thanks Stuart 👍
I was on a fair few away day coaches with Ian back in the day. Lovely lad, who will certainly be missed.
Hi hope you're all well
Very saddened to hear the deaths of two Stockport county fanatics firstly Ian
Then a bombshell shell of the passing of Mrs Stockport county Lisa Braithwaite.
I can remember working on the players entrance back in the 90s under Brendan Elwood and Danny bergara
It was a Tuesday night it was absolutely chucking it down Ian was at the door with his autograph book
Waiting for players to turn up
Danny bergara walked into the entrance from his office sees me chatting to Ian in the doorway
Well Danny said get him in and get him a towel to dry himself (Ian)
Then Danny being Danny takes in into his office Ian was thrilled to be sat in Dannys office R I P Ian and Lisa xxx
Lovely memories Clippy. You can’t beat a Danny Bergara story like that!
A wonderful man
A privilege to know you Ian RIP x
Thanks Angela 💙
