Jamesino_LCFC Posted 31 July 2006 Posted 31 July 2006 Thats a shame. 94 is a fantastic age however. Minutes silence for Tuesday when we play Burnley one wonders?
Jimmy Posted 31 July 2006 Posted 31 July 2006 souds like he was a truely great man both on and off the field, R.I.P
Janx Posted 31 July 2006 Posted 31 July 2006 Crackin innings!!! Good old lad, off to a better place methinks, all the best to his family.
Ricey Posted 31 July 2006 Posted 31 July 2006 A true Leicester great, to play for the club for that long is a fantastic achievement. I remember seeing him come out onto the pitch at either the last game at Filbo or one of the firsts at the Walkers, the club seemed to look after him well. RIP Sep
Fox in a Box Posted 31 July 2006 Posted 31 July 2006 I have suddenly stopped everything and took a minute to collect my thoughts RIP Septimus Smith Gone but not forgotten!
Katy Posted 31 July 2006 Author Posted 31 July 2006 A true Leicester great, to play for the club for that long is a fantastic achievement. I remember seeing him come out onto the pitch at either the last game at Filbo or one of the firsts at the Walkers, the club seemed to look after him well. RIP Sep I remember that too, I remember thinking how frail he looked then. As Janks said, he had a good innings and did what many young lads and lasses dream of.
Fox in a Box Posted 31 July 2006 Posted 31 July 2006 I'm really gutted....... LCFC should take a stand on this and make a big effort..... he was there well before ANYONE else, hes seen it all.......... this is quality thou... My first memories of him were in the old treatment room at Filbert Street. The injured players would come in on a Sunday morning after a game and Sep would be lying there in the bath! I don't think he had one at home!
Head Honcho Posted 31 July 2006 Posted 31 July 2006 One of not so many players to represent City as an England international and credited with bringing Don Revie to Leicester. R.I.P.
Janx Posted 31 July 2006 Posted 31 July 2006 Im guessing he had at least 6 brothers and sisters... I wonder how many of them are still around!
MONreborn Posted 31 July 2006 Posted 31 July 2006 Oh My God Rest In Peace Septius. He was living across the road till a year ago, when he was no longer able to look after himself. He always said hello and I helped him get in and out the house many a time. This has shocked me and also will shock the rest of the street. RIP Septius, a genuine Leicester Legend.
Ultra Posted 31 July 2006 Posted 31 July 2006 A true Leicester great, to play for the club for that long is a fantastic achievement. I remember seeing him come out onto the pitch at either the last game at Filbo or one of the firsts at the Walkers, the club seemed to look after him well. RIP Sep He came onto the pitch after the last league game at Filbo. He pointed towards the double decker-stand with his stick and roared into the mike, "See that? I was here before that was built!" And he was around for a while after it went, too... A true City legend and one that the club should DEFINITELY honour with a minute's silence before the next home game.
Durnerz Posted 31 July 2006 Posted 31 July 2006 I also remember him from the last game at Filbert Street, True Leicester Legend R.I.P
Thracian Posted 31 July 2006 Posted 31 July 2006 My late grandfather - a long term fan - always spoke of Sep Smith in the most glowing terms.
lookwhaticando Posted 31 July 2006 Posted 31 July 2006 A Legend of this standing deserves more than a mere minute's silence. R.I.P Sep.
