420Hashish Posted 9 July 2019 Posted 9 July 2019 I thought he died judging from the CAPS LOCKED TITLE

boots60 Posted 9 July 2019 Posted 9 July 2019 More a memory than story. Birch's 30 yarder against Leeds was a brilliant strike, his best ever goal for City.

Leeds Fox Posted 9 July 2019 Posted 9 July 2019 Once (or many times) saw him run around the pitch with a bucket.
UpTheLeagueFox Posted 10 July 2019 Posted 10 July 2019 He absolutely nailed the karaoke when we went on holiday to Gran Canaria together in 2006. Got some good pics too!
Blarmy Posted 10 July 2019 Posted 10 July 2019 My other half and I partied with him and his friends at Natterjacks one New Years Eve, good bunch of people! I was wasted so no details unfortunately.
Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 10 July 2019 Posted 10 July 2019 I volunteered one year collecting money for his run. You can’t fault how much money he has raised for worthy causes, but he came across as a bit unpleasant to be honest. Just based on my one experience. Legend - I guess so. Massive hanger on who milks his ‘status’ a bit...?
Aus Fox Posted 10 July 2019 Posted 10 July 2019 Will always remember him fondly for his Free Deirdre campaign! remember him announcing she had been freed at half time in a mid week game and some around me celebrated like we had scored!
Saxondale Posted 10 July 2019 Posted 10 July 2019 Boxing Day 1991, at home to Brighton at Filbert Street. I was about eight and this was the second game I'd ever been to. I'd received some LCFC goodies for Christmas, including an autograph book, which I brought with me. We were loitering at the corner of the old Members' Stand and the North Stand, underneath the police gantry, when we bumped into the Birch. I was too young to know who he was, but my dad and his mate suggested I should ask for his autograph - obviously he obliged. He noticed that his was the first autograph in the book and made me a very kind offer: If I posted my autograph book to him at the club, he'd get some of the players' autographs for me. So I wrote him a letter and sent him my autograph book. What seemed like a long time later - but was probably about a week - my autograph book arrived back in a jiffy bag, complete with autographs of the entire first team (and probably most of the reserves too). Legend.
Analysethis Posted 10 July 2019 Posted 10 July 2019 If he dies in the next 80 years I`ll be blaming you for tempting fate.
Wymsey Posted 10 July 2019 Posted 10 July 2019 Try and find another ex-footballer/ex-sportsman who is greatly appreciated/loved by the club and its supporters, as well as raising millions to local charity over a vast amount of years. He's worth more than gold to the club.
