Hi All, not been on here for quite a while, but I found out today that a fellow paintballer passed away in April.
Bluey was well known on the scene a few years ago and played for many teams. He was captain of Blitz, but when they disbanded played now and again for Cool As Ice (based in Truro Cornwall). This was the team I was playing for, with Kell and Luke from Pirate Paintball. We had some great times and interesting times, like any good team! Bluey was happy to join in when needed - all he wanted to do was play ball. We were both invited by Spreadz (Nigel ex-Reign of Fire) to join 2Hott4U (late 2006). This is probably when most of you would have remembered him best. Loads of ball. Great times! Bluey was never the quickest on the field but usually one of the last out!!
I spent many hours in a car with Bluey, travelling to and from Penzance, and many nights in travel lodges. He was a great player and anyone who has met him will remember what a larger than life character he was. I remember playing Campaign Cup in Birmingham NEC in 2005, he was supposed to play for Cool As Ice, but at the last moment there was a mix up and wasn't needed. This really pissed him off and he ended up playing for a team called Grumpy old Men. Unfortunately for us, we where drawn against them and a very determined Bluey went through us like a dose of salts. It was over in seconds and we were out of the competition!
He will plays be remembered by Spreadz and me as someone who would always be the ready to play no matter what and was never fazed by any team or player.
He died peacefully in Trelisk Hospital Truro on the 2nd April 2013 and will be missed by us old if you have any photos, stories anything just stick them up on this thread.
Keep it Sweet
