Was going through some of his old posts yesterday evening. We didn't start on very good terms, butting heads not long after he changed his logon, then bonded over the 2012 Olympics where he and I had great fun "cheering" on the Games thread.

Genuinely moved by his passing, thoughts & prayers go to his family :kumb:

Ahh man, this is horrible news :( . I also had a few private exchanges with GPH/SB. Top bloke. I do remember him having some health problems near the end of his posting, i think he had a nasty fall which left him unable to work (don't quote on me on that).

Sincere condolences to his friends and family. RIP pal x

Never realised that GPH and Sweeney were the same bloke.

Very sad news. Condolences to his real family from his family on here. :kumb:

This feels wrong. Got my brothers computer back from the police and I can log into his account.

A huge thanks from all of us. He will be buried on 18th June at city of London. He never wanted flowers so I've got him a lovely claret and blue union Jack for his coffin. We are all wearing west ham tops (retro avco for me) and as his sister, I'm going to get rat arsed after!

Again, thank you all.

Dear Kate ,
Your brother and I exchanged several private messages - he told me how well he got on with your son and I did suggest for him to get in touch with him so that he could team up with my boy on Xbox - that was a couple of years back now , maybe more .



He was a lovely human being your brother and I'm very sorry to hear that he passed .

My deepest condolences to you and your family .


Peter .

RIP mate.
I had no idea that was Sweeney was Gidea. Used to chat with Gidea all the time, but not so much with Sweeney. Such a weird thing. Anyhow, this is terribly sad news. I wish his family and loved ones peace and love. RIP Gidea/ Sweeney.

Looking through this thread and I'm seeing some names I haven't seen in years. That's testament to how well GPH is considered.

Again thanks for all the messages. We have decided to donate any money to Blesma. It's a foundation for ex service men who have lost limbs and have continued help through the charity.

Thank you again
