meredithmathieson Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 For any of those who knew Alan, he passed away suddenly on Monday, aged 40, leaving his wife and two small children. There are certainly those on here who will know his face, as he travelled EVERYWHERE with Liverpool for donkeys years. As mentioned above, he was one of the Vladikavkaz 38, when even travelling to a Foreign Office designated War Zone wasn't enough to stop him from going the match. ALAN ROY RIP.

Guest Mottman Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 Two little boys had two little toysEach had a wooden horseGaily they played each summer's dayWarriors both of course One little chap then had a mishapBroke off his horse's headWept for his toy then cried with joyAs his young playmate said Did you think I would leave you cryingWhen there's room on my horse for twoClimb up here Jack and don't be cryingI can go just as fast with two When we grow up we'll both be soldiersAnd our horses will not be toysAnd I wonder if we'll rememberWhen we were two little boys Long years had passed, war came so fastBravely they marched awayCannon roared loud, and in the mad crowdWounded and dying lay Up goes a shout, a horse dashes outOut from the ranks so blueGallops away to where Joe layThen came a voice he knew Did you think I would leave you dyingWhen there's room on my horse for twoClimb up here Joe, we'll soon be flyingI can go just as fast with two Did you say Joe I'm all a-tremblePerhaps it's the battle's noiseBut I think it's that I rememberWhen we were two little boys Do you think I would leave you dyingThere's room on my horse for twoClimb up here Joe, we'll soon by flyingBack to the ranks so blue Can you feel Joe I'm all a tremblePerhaps it's the battle's noiseBut I think it's that I rememberWhen we were two little boys God bless you Alan.
