Knew it was coming but that's absolutely heartbreaking. RIP Al, an absolute Vitals legend.

Legend.

Hadn’t heard from him for a while so I suspected the worst. Fans didn’t come much bigger than Al. He will be sorely missed. One of the few to whom legend actually applies.

The one time a 'dislike' button would be needed.

All the best Al, thanks for the combative posting down the years.

Terrible to lose him. My thoughts are with his family.

RIP Al. A true Bournemouth fan.
My old adversary, when posting on this site was light hearted and fun. Always enjoyed the verbal jousting with Al.

As said, knew this was coming but it's still a shock. RIP Al a true AFCB fan of the highest order.

 

[Neil Dawson]

Stalwart of the forum and always honest. Sad times. Love to his family if they read this.

 

[London Cherry]

My thoughts go towards Al and his family

I never met you but I felt like I knew you through this forum.
You will be missed.
FACT !

RIP Al.

Grateful for his support at a time when he had more important worries of his own.

 

[Third world man]

Very sad . A real character who will be sorely missed

Your humour, and input will be sadly missed. We have lost another legendary fan.

RIP Al Gard

Al was mentioned in more than one discussion at Brentford on Saturday.

His style was often combative and blunt but always well-meant. He wasn't always right but Al had all our interests as AFCB supporters at heart. There were times when Al was one of the very few voices willing and able to expose the malarkey going on the behind the scenes that could have ruined the club. We owe him for that.

M. Gard will be missed.
