    Oh dear, that is sad news. My condolences to his friends and family.

    When reading his posts I'd often think 'just where is he going with this?' But it usually made sense by the end of a paragraph or three. More often than not, after a couple of tangential detours, involving cooking, a previous job or anything else he could weave in.

    Very sad news. I had many a run-ins with Ronnie over the years. His non-sensical rants would often leave me confused but amused. He'll be missed on here.

    R.I.P. Chris

    Ronnie Brown was an ex City legend 1972-75, a smashing fearless little fella...

    Late on parade today, but can only echo the sentiments already expressed above. Amusing, baffling, irascible, knowledgeable...a character indeed who certainly livened up this place. RIP.

    Chris was indeed a character and uniquely left his mark on our Forum. Absolutely gutted he has lost his battle, he seemed invincible and showed the same sort of resilience that were very often the spine of his postings.An irreplaceable and irrepressible force I will miss his presence on here and the odd pm we used to commit to..RIP Chris God bless you mate. May I thank Dave for alerting us to his passing, the one time I wasn't on here looking for an in anticipation of the worst.
    So very sad.

    That’s so sad, I know he had been struggling with health problems for some time.
    Ronnies posts were unique in that you could read them and immediately know who had written them without reading the posters name.
    RIP Ronnie.

    RIP Chris - he was certainly a character!

    Did he post as Northy on one of the old message boards?

    No mate "Northy" was quite a different poster.

    Hi Bronco, Myself and my family would like to say thank you for your kind words and to everyone who posted, of course it was McKenzie who found you on here. I went to say my goodbye to Chris today, he looked at peace and of course I had to leave him with his city scarf.
    Regards Debbie..

    I haven’t tried to hide who I am and I know I will be banned, but I just wanted to add my own heartfelt condolences to Debbie, Mackenzie and the rest of Chris’ family. When Dave (Bronco) emailed me this sad news on Monday, I was gutted.

    Dave, Chris and I built a good relationship over the years and we would occasionally email each other, especially during my periods of being banned. On a few occasions we were meant to meet up for a pint, but sadly Chris’ health stopped this (or so he told me ;-) ).

    He was a great contributor to this site and will be sorely missed by those that read or contribute.

    RIP Chris mate and condolences to all the North family xx
