Never knew you mate but you were an Albion fan and therefore a friend

RIP

Exactly and well said. My sentiments are the same. I found Robert's name on the list of those who had been lost when I visited Ground Zero in 2001 and shed a few tears in his honour.

I never knew you Robert, but it sounds as though you were a really nice bloke. Sleep well my blue and white friend, safe in the knowledge that NSC will never let us forget you.
 




RIP all tthe victims of this most hiddeous crime.

On this day of reflection, I am mindfull of something I read once,

"The only thing it is not possible for the human mind to comprehend is the size of the universe"

I can now disagree, I cannot comprehend what must have driven these people to do this.

Can't believe it's 10 years.

RIP Robert.
Spare a thought for all others involved too.
We will never forget.

RIP Robert.
 












I do not know what happened to him. Was he killed instantly or was he one of those unfortunate enough to be thrown a lifeline, but unable to take it?
He was one of the first to die as he was on the 105th floor of the North tower as the first jet entered at around the 99th. His senses would have been stunned at the massive sound of the impact, with death occurring within seconds. I do not know if he was on the side of the building where the plane entered, but if he was, you can hardly imagine what might have gone through his mind when confronted with that devastating and incomprehensible spectacle.

RIP Robert Eaton.

The REMF is a testament to his memory and something that I hope continues for years in his name and is something to link our clubs together.

Amen to that my friend and thank you
first time I have seen a photo of Robert and now when anyone speaks about him I can conjure up an image
RIP Robert

NSC has been through many different stages, posters have come and gone and 10 years ago the board would have also been slightly different in format, but it is a part of the community that is Brighton & Hove Albion. So as Leebrokegull says - when all a sudden a poster's name who you would at times communicate with or see their user name in a thread disappears as if overnight and you realise it was because he worked in the twins towers on that fated day - it really hit home, and still does as we remember!

Robert RIP. I'm glad that of all clubs, that Palace fans are involved in this. I dont hate Palace. Our keenest rivals that I would love to see lose week in and week out and lose 6-0 to us in a few weeks time. But hate them.........nah. Hate is what drove those deluded fools to kill Robert and 3000 plus others.

Ten years - amazing what things have come and gone in that time.
The REMF is a wonderful tribute to a man who'll never see those things - a young man who was making his way in a part of the world so far away from home. Never knew you mate but you were an Albion fan and therefore a friend RIP
