angieram Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 I have some very sad news this evening. Daniel (B4) died earlier this week. He was just 38. As you know, he has been battling numerous health conditions for a long time, but always remained cheerful and was the most loyal supporter of his beloved Rams, home and away. He was at the match at Crewe and gave his full support as always. Daniel leaves behind a grieving dad, mum and sister. Our thoughts go out to them and we only hope they get a little comfort from knowing how well loved Daniel is by all who know him. Here are a couple of photos that his dad agreed could be shared. I'm sure many of you have others, as Daniel loved a selfie at the game. David is hoping to arrange a more fitting tribute in time, but for now please raise a glass in his memory and a good Derby win today. I am sure that's what Daniel would have been doing tonight.

May Contain Nuts Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Oh f****** hell. Love the lad and I hope he knew we collectively loved him too. IslandExile, Wsm-ram, Ted McMinn Football Genius and 12 others 11 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 First and foremost, my thoughts are with Daniel's friends and family, I cannot imagine what they are going through right now. I heard the news last night and it came as a huge shock, B4 as we knew him so fondly by will be a huge loss to the forum. He was Mr Positivity, Derby County's biggest cheerleader, even during the bad times his positivity would shine through. I know his Dad was at the game today with a scarf on his seat, whilst we haven't closed the gap on Portsmouth in Daniel's final rallying call on this forum, I'm sure he will be over the moon with the 3 goals and 3 points today. DCFC Fans will be honouring Daniel in time to ensure he remains in our memories, we will also be contacting the club in due course to see what can be done during a game. Suggestions are welcomed as we all come to terms with the loss. Rest in peace Daniel. ❤️🐏 Grumpy Git, Gisby, JPRamFan and 88 others 74 8 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 OMG that’s awful news. I thought it was unusual that he’s not been on here. My thoughts go to his family and friends. So, so sorry.

richinspain Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Such terrible news. Thoughts are with his family and friends at this moment. RIP B4 (I hope that referring to him as B4 and not by his name doesn't offend anyone, he is and always will be a legend on this forum) MickD, SKRam, Sufferingfool and 2 others 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 The lad was so positive and so Derby County to the point it made people laugh at times, but that was just him. Unwavering in his love and belief in Derby. Stark reminder for everyone, none more so than myself, to be a little bit more B4. Best wishes to his family. r_wilcockson, Hector was the best, Adslegend and 23 others 23 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Oh that is so sad Angie x. We all had a friendly giggle with B4. He always took even the worst and put a positive outlook on it. He’d have been delighted that Collions scored a brace today. His match report would have given us a lift as always A proper Ram. You’ll be chatting with Cloughie now “young man” . Much sympathy to his friends an family. Sufferingfool, Steve How Hard?, DerbyAleMan and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondest Goat Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 What terrible news. His enthusiasm and love for the Rams lit up the forum. Thoughts are with his family and friends.

Marriot Ram99 Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 (edited) That's so awful to hear, especially when he has not been on lately. I remember seeing his account when I read the first forum when I was only 8 years old first supporting Derby and was always a well known and well liked member. Didn't really know him in person but always seemed very positive and well spoken of.

DerbyAleMan Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 (edited) Yes notived at the game that the seat he has sat on for many years had, his scarf on it with the words, R. I. P. on, and some flowers on as well, i sit 4 or 5 rows down, he was so positive , and loved the Rams so much, he will definitely be missed by many Rams fans and others who knew him, so pleased Derby put a performance on today, B4 would have loved the teams positive attitude and result today.

Sean Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Gutted to hear about this, always a much needed positive voice on here even if I didn't interact with him too much myself. Would've been delighted with today. RIP Daniel Sufferingfool, SKRam and IslandExile 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trafford Ram Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Devastating news and thoughts go to his family. As a long time lurker who never posts, his posts are always a bright light and I think most of us aspire to be half the fan he is.

Comrade 86 Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 This is really upsetting news. He was the sweetest lad you could meet and fiercely loyal to this club of ours. I liked him a lot and loved his sabre-rattling threads. I'm really going to miss him.

Maybe we could name one of the threads after him (a La the Jim Smith room). Players and managers come and go but they will never have more love and devotion for DCFC than the fans.
