RIP Paul Parish Official Thread

[Logicalman]

Just receieved a message from my brother-in-law, a life-long gooner, but I think he also has a soft spot for Fulham:


Paul, RIP.

Heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and fellow supporters for your devastating loss.

Reaching out to you across the Football family.

From an Old Gunner. 💔

[EricB]

Very sad. Thoughts with his family.  RIP Paul.

[Bill2]

I didn't go today as my wife is end of life with frontal demperal Dementia at 56 so I needed to be with her today.
How very sad. Nobody expects to Go to Craven Cottage and not go home safely to your loved ones. May god bless Paul and his family.
The message from the chairman is beautiful- well done Shahid and Fulham.

Sorry to hear of your wife's situation, thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

[Bill2]

Very sad too hear, not what you expect to happen at a football match, especially to someone of their age. Thoughts are with his family at this difficult time.

[SG]

This thread is a really tough read. So sorry for Paul and his family and those others who have their struggles. Makes me realise more than ever how fortunate I am

[F(f)CUK]

I hope that Paul's family and friends take some comfort from having everyone in the ground clapping him and the people who cared for him, as he left the ground. I hope that the suggestion of a minutes applause at Millwall at minute 63 is taken up. RIP.

If this does not move you to tears.
An incredibly moving message from Paul's daughter Clare
:

This thread is something I never thought I would be writing when I woke up yesterday morning and I hope my numb mind can muster the words to convey some of what we as a family are feeling today. The first and only thing to say, really, is THANK YOU.

— Clare (@LittleClarePom) January 30, 2022

Just want to add Clare if you are seeing this you have done your father proud
RIP

[Nick Bateman]

Tragic news the death of any fan and particularly a Fulham supporter. I wish his family all condolences and hope we honour Paul Parish's memory as a club to the best.

[FFCFOREVER]

This is all so very sad and unfair and really puts things into perspective. It seems to have got to me a little more than I thought it would have. This read really hits home.

A really nice touch

+1.
I don't do social media. To the point that I rarely comment on this board, despite being a 58yr old lifetime fan. But I'm starting to get it. Having the resource to pay deserved respect to Paul and his family is comforting to me but most importantly, and hopefully, it's somewhere his family can take the greatest comfort by just revisiting these comments.

Also,
@Dunstable Fulham.....so very, very sorry mate.
