Very sorry to hear of the premature passing of Paul. A true gentleman who served the Club and its supporters faithfully. A sad loss. I think he posted here quite recently so it is a bit of a shock.

That’s horrible news. R.I.P Paul.
Hopefully they’ll be a minute’s silence on Saturday.

I'm finding it quite hard to come to terms as well. Doesn't seem that long ago that I saw Paul at a Trust Forum or planning meeting. I had quite a bit to do with Paul over the years, a lovely man with the club in his heart, and who was saddened by the behavior of the current board. I'll miss him.

A true gent and another who foresaw the disaster looming. Sad news.

Very sad news. Good man who,along with Derek Jones (and others of course),tried so hard to warn us all what was happening. Very sad that his last memory of the club he loved was to be the pathetic shambles that is WCFC today.

I remember chatting briefly with Paul several times over the years and he was always friendly and a gentlemen in all respects. It is sad news and I agree with Oxford that it is sad also that he never got to see Worcester City start to turn this mess around...

A sad and very sudden loss. Paul was always city through and through. Got to know him a bit over the last few years and for some reason he always called me Rod! Never had the heart to correct him and now never will. RIP.

And never again will questions be asked about "Ooooverage!" Paul was the first of the Troublemakers, the first to stand up and say "this is not right" He was a founder of the Shareholder Action Group, formed to fight against the formation of this present Board of Directors, and get WCFC a new ground in Worcester, because he knew that Nunnery Way was Pie In The Sky. Paul, you did your bit, and I'm proud to have worked with you.

We certainly do, he was one of those who blew the lid on the real situation at WCFC. He helped expose Hallmark and Boddy and the reality of SMD. And he saw straight through Hampson & co. A good man!

Paul Curtis, The closet Forest Green Supporter as I liked to call him. I got to know Paul very well over the last 25 years or so. A real gent & genuine guy. I cannot remember any time over the last 5-10 years, whe he did not ask how my wife & daughter were doing & always using their names. He will be a sad loss to many. RIP my friend x

I too have known Paul for Manu years, since he used to call to my house on a regular basis in his then job as an insurance agent. A very nice guy who always had time to say hello when I met him at the footy. A very sad loss.
