Upsetting news
« on: June 16, 2010, 10:51:11 AM »

Just seen on facebook that an Alty fan of the fuselier (and therefore mine and many others) generation has died...Ian Spratt or Spratty. A die hard home and away fan in our glory years and a great lad and family man...also a decent centre back for the fans' team  as no-one could get round the bugger.

Does anyone have any details as this is truelly shocking sad news and my thoughts are with his family.

A sad loss.  I remember speaking to him a few times when I was younger.  He was always one of the gang that stoood to my left with Pete Read, Trucker, Boyney etc.

Thoughts go out to his friends and family.  From what  I remember her was very well liked by all.

Ian (I believe),  sadly  died of a massive heart attack on Monday afternoon.
My thoughts are with Jenny his wife, and all his family.

I knew Spratty from our first day at Primary School together - I still can't believe it's true

Condolences to his family, friends and workmates

Indeed a stalwart of the Supporters Team, and also of many a weekend in Weymouth and Bath.

Our condolences to Jen and the family.

I haven't seen him for many years but he was a regular late 80s early 90s and a personality the size of his belly! RIP
