RIP David Grant : Thu May 13, 2021 5:41 pm  

Heard the sad passing of David today.
Not sure what he went as on this board but many of you who stood in the SS would know of David.
Massive fan of the Rhinos who attended games both home and away.
If you didn`t know him you would have heard him as his voice would boom out well above others in the middle of the SS..
Seem to remember him captured on Sky behind the sticks not sure where screaming to take the 2.
RIP fella.

I'll miss his friendly handshake whereever we went. A true Loiner. RIP Dave. Now we'll never know what you had against Keith Senior.

A great bloke, larger than life. Sad to hear the news and wishing his family my sincerest condolences

Top bloke - always a good visit to his Chemist shop - a more loyal Rhinos fan you will not meet - glad he got to see the glory years - was sat close to him at the 2003 CC semi - he nearly brought the stand down on his own when that kick went over - happy days

Think he sold his Chemist shops a few years back mate.
But yes a very loyal and passionate fan of the Rhinos.
I remember him at a bar in Chapel A when we were with Frogger and Bails and of course he had to let Bailey know where he was going wrong.
Oh how they laughed

It is a long time since I lived in Bradford - but his shop in Wibsey was a lively place

I knew David from school. He was in the year below me. We kept in touch through the years mainly through our shared love of the Rhinos. Shocked and saddened to get this news.

RIP David - another good one gone.
