Tim, that's a lovely, heartfelt, moving post. You obviously had a great relationship

with your dad and that's a credit to both of you.

I don't know if you know this Hardy poem ("I am the family face") but I think it says something very profound about continuity between the generations - in your case including the NCFC gene!

Best wishes

Oggers

I am the family face;
Flesh perishes, I live on,
Projecting trait and trace
Through times to times anon,
And leaping from place to place
Over oblivion.
The years-heired feature than can
In curve and voice and eye
Despise the human span
Of durance - that is I;
The eternal thing in man,
That heeds no call to die.
