In 1975 , I migrated from Manchester to Poole and later that year joined a newly formed Poole based supporters club .
I think the start of the 76/77 season was Ipswich away and Peter Swales and Bernard did a slight detour and brought the League Cup that City won in 76 down to one of our meetings. I sat next to Bernard for the whole evening and when the Cup was filled with Champagne and passed around, it was Bernard who passed it to me.
He struck me then as a really nice bloke, most of the tributes I have read today all echo that. RIP
He was a real gentleman
Met him many times
It was great to see him amongst the Good and the Great that gathered on the pitch before we were presented with the PL trophy in 2012.
I also remember his signature on the first ever season ticket I got.
RIP Bernard
Good tribute from both the fans and the staff there.
