Fella from my area known as Wurzel sadly died this afternoon after suffering injuries from a brutal attack.

He was a Giant of a man in size & in heart & was well known at Chelsea, some of you might have known him.

There's a fund raising page to raise some money for his granddaughter, https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/Wurzel?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=Yimbyprojectpage&utm_content=Wurzel&utm_campaign=projectpage-share-owner&utm_term=YDdVV22Mg

How very sad. I will make a donation for his granddaughter. My sympathies are with her.

How very sad,RIP.

Awful news.

r.i.p worze.

a good friend for many years.

That's horrible and sad. My thoughts go out to those who lost a family member and a friend.

That's horrific news.

Condolences to the his family and friends.

We must look after our own. How sad.........Blue is the Colour.

@Carshalton Blue  (why is this not working, I wonder?)

I hope you won't find this an inappropriate comment, CB, but what a handsome man your friend Wurzel was!  Truly gorgeous - with a very attractive smile!! I have donated a wee bit of money for Lily.  What a tragic shame that she will only ever know her Granddad in photographs.

Sad news.

I will do mate, investigations are still on going by plod at the mo.

Just seen a pic of him on facebook and realised that I knew him from years back, late 70s early 80s, used to stand over by the corrugated iron to the right of the Shed with some other lads from Carshalton and Wallington, RIP

 

there is going to be a minute applause to carl on the 55th minute versus hull.

RIP. CARL.

At the game, great response from the crowd. R I P Wurzel.

For personal reasons I couldn't make it yesterday, just got this from a mate of mine...  Unbelievable yesterday very emotional but what a turnout! About 500: Family, Chelsea, Cabbies (who did a procession in their cabs), Posties, Pub-associates & everyday friends. Palmerston, Coach, Wine bar, Greyhound, Railway all taken over before & after Funeral. All went really well with great eulogies in Church by Carl's Daughter & Mark Turpin then Wurzel's Brother Johnny did a great speech and recited a poem in the Crematorium. C.Q. O'Brien-RIP-Legend.
