Sad News......Redraine

I have sad news about 'Redraine'.........My old friend of forty years...Michael Raine.
Sadly Mike died in the early hours of last night with members of his family by his side.
Mike had fought stoically for the last ten years with serious illness.
He continued to stand, (but sometimes sit), on the Clayton End up to the end of last season.
Mike was 72 years old.

For several years, here on the Accy Web, 'Redraine' was well known as a true Stanley fan.
I am sure that he will be sadly missed.
I know that I will miss him.
God Bless you Mike.
Sleep well my old mate.

Choirboy !,

I am more than certain that everyone using our Forum will be sharing your feelings of loss when hearing the news of Mike's passing.
I was fortunate enough to talk 'all things Stanley' with him personally, as well as sharing many interesting and usually witty bits of banter on the Forum. One thing shone through during our chats, and in his posts, and this was his love and total dedication to the Team which we all support with pride.
No banter tonight, only a hope that the thoughts and prayers of many friends will give some comfort to Mike's family during what will be a trying and heartbreaking period.

The name 'Redraine' will I know, always be remembered here, and in the hearts of all who knew him.
