That's awful. I was in contact with Ivan around the time his first son was born and it was very obvious how delighted and proud he was to be a father. As a father myself I don't know how I'd cope with such a blow. My thoughts are with him and his wife.

This is so sad and not the news that we want to hear at anytime. Having been blessed with two wonderful Sons in my life I don't know (or want to) how painful this must be.

Horrendous News indeed...

RIP
09-11-2009, 09:27 AM
I always look for Ivan's name in the match report and was surprised to see he wasn't in the squad on Saturday. It is tragic that when I should be learning he and his wife had added to the family that they have to endure this tragedy.

Ivan - our heart goes out to you and Janet

Such shocking news. I'm actually lost for words.

No-one deserves this to happen to them.

He remains to this day one of my favourite ever Hibs players and I am deeply saddened to hear this news.

Just really tragic.

Maybe someone could pass the comments on this thread onto Bristol City in a couple of days and they could let Ivan know that everyone at Hibs is thinking of him and his wife at such a sad moment in their lives.

It fairly puts the personal troubles into perspective.

Met the sproule family on a bus after the 0-1 riordan derby and a
Nicer bunch you wouldn't find. Ivan was with his dad and brothers I think but still shook my hand and had a gas about how much he loves Edinburgh and still comes up to watch us.

Terrible news knowing what that family must be going through. would happily participate in a minutes silence or applause (if appropriate) should it ever be arranged.

Hopefully someone from HFC will be intouch with Bristol to offer support

Heart-wrenching news.

I'm not going into any great details here but Ivan is one of the most level-headed, down to earth football players I have ever had the pleasure to speak to.

I took Wee Toaods and her cousin to get some players autographs, etc but at the time results weren't going too well and players made a bolt for their cars or didn't exactly appear at the main entrance. Ivan hadn't even got on the park that day but came out and signed autographs, spoke to the kids and happily had his pic taken with them and others who has stood patiently.

Not an ounce of arrogance about the man whatsoever and you know something that builds that in a persons character? Being a good family man.

IIRC, tragedy struck his family before losing a brother at a young age, so it stands to reason he'll be sitting at home asking himself "Why Me? :wtf: have I done to deserve this?"

Sadly there is no answer, so spend time with your family Ivan, be strong and when you are ready to come back don't think you have anything to prove to anyone, just go out and do what you do best.

Thoughts are with you.

Heartbreaking for the wee felly and his wife.

My laddie was at the Hibs Kids soccer school a few years ago and Ivan and Sam Morrow came down to meet the kids at the end of the week.

You could tell Sam was nervous meeting the kids and parents as he was just a young laddie himself. Ivan was only at the club a couple of months himself but he put Sam at ease and was laughing and joking with the kids with a real affinity.

Hi all,

Dollymarie from the BCFC Supporters Trust is going to take the [now 3 large] cards to their ground today to be passed onto Ivan at a suitable time later. She has taken all the messages of sympathy and support and cut these out and pasted them inside the cards. A nice gesture and good to see so many of the Hibees Family on the OTIB forum for Ivan.

Pics here:

No-one deserves to go through something like this, especially someone with as big a heart as Ivan Sproule and his wife.

RIP

Hi all,

Quick update from Dollymarie:

"Just to let you know I have been and dropped the messages and cards down to the football club. I put them all in one big envelope and addressed it to Gary Johnson (our manager) so he can pick the best time to hand them over to Ivan and Janet. Will let you know if I hear anything more, but just to say they are now safely in the hands of the football club."

Hi all,

Dollymarie from the BCFC Supporters Trust is going to take the [now 3 large] cards to their ground today to be passed onto Ivan at a suitable time later. She has taken all the messages of sympathy and support and cut these out and pasted them inside the cards. A nice gesture and good to see so many of the Hibees Family on the OTIB forum for Ivan.

Is that just the messages that have been left on the OTIB forum? If so, is there any chance of passing the messages on this thread onto Bristol City as well?

No, I copied and sent the postings from here and I believe someone else did likewise from the Bounce. Both were included in the messages in the cards with the BCFC messages.

I emailed the club yesterday suggesting that they send a wee message of support via BCFC or perhaps put a wee message of sympathy in the next programme...

:aok: Excellent.

I just wondered as I was trying to register on the OTIB site earlier so that I could send a message on there but, for some reason, it's not sent me a validation e-mail to get my account recognised.

But if the messages from here have been sent down then that's fine.

I just wanted to add my condolences. Ivan's a real cult hero / legend and it's such terribly sad news when such a tragedy happens to one of our own.

I hope all the messages from the City fans and everyone at Hibs gives Ivan and his family some strength.

Great, well done for emailing them.

The club should definitely put a note in the programme, and I think the club should send a card to Ivan directly, on behalf of "the Hibernian family".

Club has sent Ivan a message and flowers, which I think is an appropriate gesture of sympathy. Well played, Hibs. :agree:
