Is the 15 a nod to how many times a day he’d ban Gol?

Why number 15?

Cause he shares the surname of our current one!

Clever.

Can't believe I'm only just seeing this, heart-breaking news.

Condolences to his family, Coco was one of a kind, loved and respected by everyone that visited the forum over the years.

Rest in peace.

Just logged on after a week off, and absolutely gutted to read this news 

I will raise a glass in honour of Coco this evening. RIP our friend and blue brother. 

I don't look in this section of the forum much, so only found out about this yesterday. Didn't know what to say yesterday after I found out and still don't know what to say now really. Even when the match chat got renamed to Coco's Chelsea FC Match Chat, I didn't clock on to anything, I just thought it was renamed because he was Coco was in charge of fixture topics. 

Like everybody that has been on here for a while, I'm sure we have all had many interactions with Coco. We agreed and disagreed on many things, it will feel weird not seeing his name pop up again.

Like above only seen this recently.

Coco was one of the first members I spoke to when I joined. He had a great sense of humour and I'm sure those who knew him outside of the forum will feel this hard.

Rest Easy Coco, you leave behind a fine forum for the rest of us.

This is Coco’s son I’d just like to thank you all from the family for your messages on this forum and renaming a thread in his name. It brought tears 😭 to my eyes reading the comments and tributes and how much he was respected amongst the forum.
 

Below I’d like to share a photo of my father Coco with his grandson Tyler who’s 15 he lost his Dad in August. I arranged for a training ground visit at Cobham via Colin Lee who i became friends with over the summer and he had contacts at the club. This was only on the 14th September and his last proper outing as a week later his health drastically went downhill. Chris Robinson showed them round that day and that smile on the photo below with his grandson gets me every-time I’m just so glad he got to do this 💙💙

 

Many Thanks

Shane

Please feel free to share your favorite photos or your favorite memories of him, I’m sure everyone here would like that. If you’re comfortable with it, of course.

Hope you’re doing okay and keep your head up, I’m certain that’s what he would have wanted. Sending love your way! 

I have been away for a long time, then had an email from Chippy asking me what I was doing and why I wasn't posting any more. Truth is I was quite low in spirits after Lofty left us, and by the time I felt like coming in, of course I had forgotten my password. So I asked Chippy to contact Mod for me, and Mod told me the sad news about Coco. God, he was only a youngster compared to me! I can remember when he announced the birth of his grandson. Coco was pure gold, as we say in Scotland. When I read the sadness of the ShedEnders who knew him well, I find myself wondering how much greater the grief of his family must be. I wish them strength to concentrate on all their happy memories of Coco and  take pride in the knowledge of how much he was loved on here.  And, as an old woman, I give myself the right to comment on how gorgeous he looked in his black leather jacket. Now I'm going to look in my mailbox to see if I can find any old letters from him.

Nice to here from you Madam.

Here I am again, and I can reveal that I found a lovely letter from Coco in which he was talking about how cold it was in Worcestershire, but he was about to into a 40° jacuzzi with a brandy. Then he said, "Talk to you aqain soon, probably when I get back from the jacuzzi".  Prior to that the conversation had been about a poster he and I both disliked, so I draw a veil over that.  My lips are sealed.  Coco was always very discreet but sometimes he was interested in finding out whether people whose opinions he trusted were of the same mind as himself. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 this one is for Coco because his dog used to sit on the best sofa and chuck the expensive cushions Coco had bought on the floor!

And it's lovely to hear from you, young man.  Especially as you've posted the best emoji of the all. I've forgotten how to do emojis!  Can't find the right page thatn you got the Scottish saltire from.

Here is a song for Coco.  He was one of the  Chelsea Brothers in Arms

When @moi is back, she is back with a vengeance, isn't she 

Good to see you post again!

For what little words written on the internet are worth my condolences go out to all of Coco's family and friends. 

have not been on here for awhile, just seeing the news about Coco. May he rest in peace

I came back on here to dish out respect to Thiago for holding an inquest on pitch whilst everyone else was celebrating a scrappy win which should of been a comfortable walk in the park and then I just came across this post.

I gave this man a hard time a few times but in all honesty he was the light behind this forum. Kept his calm and nerve  with all the trolls including myself and during a time when I wasn't particularly mentally stable he sent a few private messages.

I only wish I had let him know how much they meant at the time instead of feeling sorry for myself andnolaying the victim.

No words can describe the loss I feel finding out about the passing of a complete stranger and yet he still somehow seems like a relative, the brother I wish I had? The fun uncle we only ever see at weddings/funerals? I don't know but we have all had a familial connection with a stranger only our love for HIS beloved chelsea could bring.

A true gent has been lost and I am holding up a belated pint for a man we should all respect

Every now and then my brain catches the ‘Coco’s Chelsea FC Match Chat’ and I remember he’s no longer with us. Still very much missed. 

Only just read these comments...R.I.P Coco.....true blue going to the real shed end in the heavens
