Sadly Mark passed away on Sunday. He was a lovely, genuine guy and a true sky blue. Any tributes or comments left in here will be passed on to his family.

Awful news really, not very old at all and the accounts threads were always really informative. Not sure that would happen on many other forums.

Thoughts to his family.

 

[Otis]

Oh no. That's a shock. I liked him so much on here. Always seemed such a nice guy.

So sorry to hear of his passing. He will be sorely missed.

RIP OSB

terribly sad news, was really informative and always enjoyed reading his posts
Rest in sky blue heaven Mark.

 

[Macca1987]

Keep the sky blue OSB, very sad news, thinking of his family at this sad time

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

That’s just awful. One of the best posters on here and his expertise brought some things to light which otherwise probably would never have been.

 

[matesx]

aww no! seemed a lovely fella and will be much missed.

 

[GaryMabbuttsLeftKnee]

This is really sad news. Is this OSB who used to comment on all the finances of the club?

 

[Johnnythespider]

Really sad to hear this, condolences to all who knew him

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Very sorry to hear this. Had wondered where he was lately, and he always seemed a decent chap who cared about the club and the city, and did his best to be fair.

Fly high OSB

 

[Calista]

So saddened to hear this. He may have been a stranger to me, but a stranger I came to rely upon for his incredible knowledge and his honest information about our club, so it feels like losing a friend.

RIP

Wow, that's awful news. Always very informative, appreciated him taking the time to simplify things re the accounts for us. RIP.

Sorry to hear this, his contributions on here over the years were always very insightful. R.I.P

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Tragic news, such an early age.

An absolute authority on all things financial, he will be sadly missed.

Condolences to his family.

 

[Colin Steins Smile]

Very sad news my thoughts are with his family. He was always a knowledgeable and measured contributor to this site. He'll be missed.

 

[SBT]

A real loss to the community on here - his ability to share expertise without ever being drawn into the usual sniping/name-calling was a real asset and will be missed.

 

[Old Warwickshire lad]

RIP OSB his knowledge of finance made his contribution to this forum invaluable. He will be sorely missed.
Condolences to his family.

 

[DazzleTommyDazzle]

To use an old fashioned word, he always seemed to be a real gentleman.

His analysis of the accounts over the years was always considered and clear and much appreciated by many of us.

He will be missed. RIP.

 

[Samo]

RIP. Thanks for everything.

 

[Grendel]

Shame. Met him once . Seemed a real nice and genuine guy.

 

[robbiethemole]

RIP. OSB58 seemed a very knowledgeable guy and was always polite in his put downs, will miss his insights into the running of the Club

 

[Johhny Blue]

If they have a premier league up there he’ll be in it for sure

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

RIP OSB58 - as others have said, came across as a genuinely nice guy. Thoughts with his family.

 

[GaryPendrysEyes]

Shocking news. He was a cool intelligent voice on here with no axes to grind.
He will be sadly missed.
Best wishes to his family and friends.

 

[LastGarrison]

Just to echo others, real shame and his posts were always very factual and helped explain things in layman’s terms. If a little long from time to time.

Happy to throw a few shekels in if there is some form of collection/donation for him or a charity of his families choice?

 

[Ooh Ah]

Sad news. Would be good to get something shared with the family. Thank you CJ. Few of us knew him, but were always grateful and appreciative for the time he spent unpacking accounts for the illiterate masses. Realise time with us was not with his family, so grateful for that, and he genuinely will be missed. He came across a genuine guy, generous and intelligent with his time, and whilst football is not life he added colour to those of us who have a shared passion for the Sky Blues. Please accept our prayers, thoughts and condolences for your loss.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Very sad news. Always good to hear his insights on the finances and just a nice poster all round - those contributions will be missed. Thoughts are with his family and friends.

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Awfully sad news. Play up OSB. Thoughts with his friends and family.

 

[Ashdown]

Sad news indeed. A decent and articulate guy, who always presented the financial side of our calamitous club with a clarity that most could understand better.
Presuming ‘58 was his year of birth, not so old either. RIP Sir

 

[bulko]

His posts were the only ones that made sense the ones I looked out for the most rip.

 

[NortonSkyBlue]

It’s always sad when one of us passes and although I didn’t know him personally I appreciated his input and I know that many others did as well. Travel well OSB58 and you will be missed on here.

 

[RegTheDonk]

That's really sad, his analysis of finances helped make sense of the minefield that we were walking through. RIP Mark and condolences to your family.
