Hi everyone, James' (Blazes) sister here. I dont know where to begin, as a family we are devastated but totally blown away reading all these lovely comments and little stories about James. Once a jack, always a jack

Condolences to you and all your family.

Talking of stories a few years ago when he absolutely refused to miss a game home or away we were playing Sheffield United away and the weather forecast was giving a large flurry of snow on Friday night for South West Wales meaning that if the forecast was correct James would have struggled to drive to Sheffield on Saturday morning for the game so he drove up on Friday teatime.
He got as far as the motorway services in South Yorkshire on the M1,went in for a slash,grabbed something to eat and drink,went back to the car and had a kip for a few hours.
A week or so later he received a letter,£50 fine for spending too long in the services car park.

I remember this, he was furious. I told him that he could've frozen to death. Was this the time that a woman knocked on the window and offered him her services?

I can’t remember the bit about the woman

He could be a knob mind.
I spoke to him last year and I was in Porthcawl,I paused for a second and then I said to him that four young lads in school uniform had just walked past me and one of them said “Santa’s looking old.”
Half hour later the knob texts me this.

Then there was that time the follically challenged ECB said he was going to a couple of rock concerts and this turned up on here.

Blooming heck - just seen this. What awful news.

Didn’t meet Blaze in person but have conversed on here many times.

May he rest in peace.

Heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and everyone who loved him. Reading this thread, there were obviously many who did.

That was Darran moonlighting

Sincere condolences. I met your brother many times on the road at away games. Such a lovely man and a proper Jack.

I can’t lie that’s probably the first post you’ve ever made that’s slightly amused me.

Another great story was when a poster on here Costello who was a school teacher took the school mini bus home for the weekend and asked on here if anyone fancied going to the away game,James was on there with a load of other boys and the other boys had taken a load of cans.
They’re half way up the motorway and the school bus gets pulled over by the police and it’s full of beer.

Costello always called him Blouse.

I am in bits.
I didn’t think it was possible to cry so much.
I am devastated.
Sleep tight my beautiful friend I love you and I’ll love you forever.

Awful news

I remember when we reached the play off final he did a wonderful graphic which has been on my wall ever since

Rest now YJB

I can’t remember the reason behind it now but he made a pile of £10 notes with Paulo Sousa’s face on.
I showed one to Sousa before the game on Saturday and he asked if Blaze could make him a bundle.
