R.I.P Bowburn Mag
Posted on December 12th, 2011 | 38 Comments |

I was shocked to learn that Steve Thompson, aka Bowburn Mag, has passed away and I’d like to offer condolences on behalf of NUFCBlog.org and myself to his family and friends.
He was a great guy and I thoroughly enjoyed the banter we used to have. He will be missed.
It goes without saying that he was a passionate Toon supporter and he posted 234 articles here back in the early days of the ‘blog. He was an excellent writer, generally making his articles both informative and amusing, and he had a knack for great – and sometimes esoteric – headlines (“Haris, Haris who the Vuckic Haris” is one that springs to mind!).
Unfortunately, I never got to meet Steve properly, although we got to know one another well enough electronically that I feel like I’ve lost a friend.
A post such as this is hardly a worthy tribute but I felt the event should at least be marked in some small way.
R.I.P. Steve.
Sad day.I will always remember him wearing my late sons name on his shirt during The Great North Run.They are running together now RIP
