    Very sad news that Tony Shepardson has passed away. So many memories of his commentary

    Very sad to hear this. Loved his club and his commentaries were from the heart. My wife listened to the Orient one, I was of course in Wembley,. She said it was fantastic and said Shep got very emotional at what HIS club had achieved.

    Knew Shep for many years and he was a gentleman. Set up his own licensed trade business and despite all the work when you work for yourself he stayed loyal to his club. When he called it a day and retired a little of the passion went out the commentary.

    God Bless Tony. RIP.

    30 years or so ago, Shep gave me many lifts to distant venues. I got to know him quite well and liked him. We were mates for years and then we went 20 years without seeing each other.
    Bumped into a guy in Boots near ground about ten months ago. Not easy to recognise.
    He was physically worn and told me his bad news.
    Hoped to see him at least one more time – but no.
    RIP Shep.
    Blessings on his family at this awful time.
