Very sad to hear this. Eastsax was, of course, as well as being its Administrator, also responsible for setting up the Essex Outfielder message board. RIP.

Had his 'heart in the right place'.

Had many a discussion over the relative virtues of following Essex CCC and Colchester United..............he was Essex through and through.

A lovely man.

Will be sadly missed

Never met him or knew him but he did a lot for this Forum & assisted me when I got locked out last year! RIP & farewell to a passionate Essex fan.

How very sad.

Had a number of friendly dialogues with him on the respective merits of Essex's football teams and festival venues !

Not only a polite, thoughtful and considerate poster but also the driving force behind establishing this forum.

Thanks and Rest In Peace.
