Thanks for that Sunbury White, it's good to have the opportunity to pay my respect to this Fulham legend, who gave us oldies so much, not only on the field, but also brought his great friend Johnny Haynes to Craven Cottage. I have a unique memory of Tosh when he came and spoke to me at the funeral of Jim Langley, it meant a lot to me then as it does right now. Thanks Tosh for the memories.
Very thoughtful of the family to make the funeral available on line, we must try to take advantage of this.
I'll watch it . He entertained me in the 50's and was a very happy man always laughing and making others laugh.
Yes I shall be watching Tosh a Fulham Legend.
A nice gesture from the family, one of Fulham's best loved characters ever.

Could I ask why you were at Jim Langleys funeral?
So happy to be part of it. We knew Tosh when I was a boy through our Fulham roots & constantly, one of the nicest, funniest, down to earth & generous of people you could wish to meet - & Margaret, too. Privilege to be asked & most certainly will be 'there' virtually.

Lovely gesture. I'm sure many Fulham fans will want to watch. Tosh was a much loved icon.

Fulham announced in the matchday programme that there would be a memorial service for Jim Langley at Breakspear Crem , as I live 5 minutes away I thought it was the least I could do but go along, I wore a black jacket with a simple FFC badge on it, and Tosh and Mark Lazarus came over and spoke to me. I guess with hindsight it would have been an unusual venue for a memorial, but I went anyway. I remember Tosh was disappointed that the club were not better represented!!
The programme it was in was against Newcastle United 15th December, page 11 "A memorial service will be held at 2.15 pm Friday 21 at Breakspear Crematorium" so it was worth keeping 60 years of FFC programmes!!!!

It's started.
The scarf - nice touch. 9739.gif
Nice one 049:gif
Don't know who the vicar was but some nice anecdotes - that's how most of us remember Tosh! RIP .... Rosebury Road legend.
Guessing the Vicar in the Fulham scarf was Gary Piper who was the Fulham FFC Chaplain for many many years and was perfect for the job as he knew the club, the history, and most importantly was a personal friend of Tosh. Really appreciate being able to share and remember the man who brought so much to our club.
Nice tribute
A very nice modest funeral where every word confirmed that Tosh was the loveable fun loving character we saw on the pitch. Young people today have so much to make like enjoyable but none of them can have a lot better than the entertainment Tosh gave to me and some 30,000 or so other fans at Fulham in the fifties.

Couldn't have put it better - thank you

You appear correct in that, previously Vicar of St Matthew's.
Very moving and fitting tribute to Tosh by each.
I think you will find that in the old days when there were spectators at football matches you would have seen Gary as one of those in charge of the ball boys. This is a job that he has done for some time.
He had quite a dilemma back in the 70s when as a teacher at Henry Compton .School he had one of his former pupils Ade Cocker playing for West Ham. As much as he loved Fulham he felt that he had a responsibility to go to see Ade play. I would see him pass on his way to,Parsons Green Station missing our games.
