Nice suggestion from UFGN and really nice of Trina to implement it.

Posted it on the website as I mentioned in it, the top rank will now be SE13 (thanks to UFGN for the suggestion)
I wanted to post more about him, but I dont know what to say....I still cant believe it.

Its hard to know where to start huh? Still in shock, this was a guy many of us conversed daily with for several years even though most of us never met him. Its hard to take in.

This is from Chris's sister Kate

Thank you Trina for doing this, it's such a comfort hearing people speak fondly of our brother Chris. He had a tough time of things over the last couple of years, but when he fell he always managed to pick himself up and get on with life fairly quickly. Nobody really knew how ill he was during these past few weeks, tragically he hid it from all of us. Please thank all the fellow Goonersworld followers for their messages; he lived for Arsenal

Shocking news, especially as he was younger than me.

RIP and best wishes mate as you take your place on the North Bank in the sky.

My thoughts are with your close friends and family, especially your kids.


Well done to all concerned with the ranking change. It's a lovely gesture.

[Trina]

[Massa]

[arsebandit]

How heartbreaking for his family. I hope you are in a better place Chris. We gooners are kindred spirits & the loss of one is felt by all. Keep the faith Chris.

Thats a lovely tribute to Chris, Trina. I know if he could see this he would be humbled, he really did put so much into this forum, its very fitting.
Over the years many of us here got to know Chris quite well, even if it were only online, makes it even more gutting he missed his connecting train last season for the Norwich game as Chris, Libs & I were meant to meet up.

I have also spoken via facebook to Chris' other sister Sarah, while the family are understandably devastated, she also thanked me for kind words and was taking some comfort in how well thought of Chris was.

We have lost a good one, a gooner & a gentleman. Xxx

I know that despite the jokes and cliches, life and death is much more important than football, but although it's tragic that Chris will never see Arsenal win another title, he left us at a time when we as a family are on the up and I think that that's significant. He was always a very charming, intelligent, wry and funny poster and I have missed his presence on the forum in recent months. The fact that he wont be returning is a big loss to the site and the Gooner community, but most importantly, his family and freinds. I would like to add my deepest condolences to those that knew and loved him.
