For those of you who don't know, there is a Robert Eaton shirt hanging up in my mate Shaun's bar, Foleys NYC. Richie M visited Foleys and very kindly donated the shirt as a tribute.
Shaun has taken a keen interest in the whole story behind this and has just informed me that one of the NY TV companies wants to do a story on this due to the upcoming 10th anniversary.
As soon as I have a link to the news video, I will post it on here.
Another great tribute to the memory of Rob I'm sure you'll all agree.
Cheers, Mac.

Great stuff.

The REMF is something we can all be very very proud of.

Just spoke to him again and it's actually ITN who want to do the piece.

Let's hope they do him proud.

(And thanks Aelred)

I went to see this last night. DECADE - Home

It's not in a theatre, but in a former trading hall that has been transformed to look like the restaurant at the top of the World Trade Centre. You go through 'security checks' and sit at tables in the 'restaurant' and can see out of the 'windows' while the performance goes on around you. Powerful and challenging theatre; maybe too powerful if you've lost someone close. Recommended though.

Nothing wrong with that at all, there are times to put football rivalry aside and use a love of the game to do something good that benefits many, REMF is probably the best example I can think of. Long may it continue.

I think a big well done should go to all those who have contributed the the REMF like Uncle Spielberg, they have done our club and the Eaton family proud.
