RIP Pasty

[DIXIHIBS]

Sad news that well known hibs fan Michael "Pasty" Pace has passed away suddenly. A regular in hibs club for 40 plus years and Tartan Army veteran for similar time. Rarely missed a Scotland game home or away and made many friends over that time. RIP Pasty. Apologies if this has been mentioned already.

[Ringothedog]

Very sad news indeed. RIP “pasty”.

Sad to here this, I've known Pasty for many years, he was always a permanent feature in the games room at the Hibs club, last to leave to get round for the game but a close contender for first one back at the bar, always good company, I've no doubt his lose will be felt hard by the Tartan Army members not only from our club, but from other clubs TA members also.

[Eaststand]

Very sorry to read this.
Pasty was a great wee Hibby and he looked really healthy when I chatted to him fairly recently when he was doing leaflet deliveries.

RIP

Another familiar face gone, I first met him at a Heart's v Arsenal friendly at Tynecastle in the seventies, Cropley had signed for Arsenal and a good few Hibs fans were undercover in the crowd to see him perform. Pasty was the only one wearing a Hibs scarf though...
RIP Wee Man

Definitely sad news G, had a wee tear in my eyes when the text came through.
RIP Pasty old pal.

[ACLeith]

Knew him from when he was a wee lad in the BB and later when he delivered his catalogues round our street. Tried to buy something from it whenever I could, for auld times sake.

Sad news

[Lancs Harp]

RIP Fellow Hibby
Respect Auld Enemy

[tamig]

That’s a shocker. Knew Michael well both as a Hibby and as the Betterware guy. Great wee guy and loved his appearance on a Scotland documentary from either the 82 or 86 World Cup. What a blow. RIP Michael 🙌

Yes he had a brother. David i think.

RIP Pasty old pal.

At least he got one last scotland trip...he was in Norway at the weekend...in fine form apparently.

[cabbageandribs1875]

that's the very first name i thought of :agree:

[offshorehibby]

Yes, I heard the boys had spoken to him and all fine in Oslo. Saw a good Scotland away result before he went.

[Fanforlife]

R.I.P. Pasty💚💚

[Nakedmanoncrack]

At least he got one last scotland trip...he was in Norway at the weekend...in fine form apparently.

Spoke to him on Saturday afternoon before the game in Oslo, and not a hint of anything untoward so was a real shock to hear about Pasty this afternoon, he was one of the faces who had been about for years.

And without knowing him particularly well - like most of the regular travelling Scotland fans of the last few decades I knew him to speak to.

At least he got to go out on a high, with a great trip and result.

RIP.

[J-C]

RIP Pasty, such a shame, stayed a couple streets from me and was a well kent face around Leith links and Easter Rd.

[Billy Whizz]

I don’t know the name, but he seems a fantastic Hibs and Scotland supporter
Really sad news

[hibeerealist]

R I P Pasty. Sad news I knew him from school then the Hibs/Hibs club, good wee guy.

[Just Alf]

RIP matey, will have one for you in Pipers.

[Humber Hibby]

That's sad news, he was in my class all through primary, Leith Links.

[Frazerbob]

I was genuinely shocked to hear about this this morning. By all accounts he was in good form in Oslo over the weekend. He was a regular in my pub every Sunday night and will be missed by the staff and other punters. Shame he wont be in Germany with the TA next year. RIP Pesty....I meant Pasty!

[darwenhibby]

Sorry to read this
Good Hibby and Scotland supporter
I’ll let Blackpool hibs tell a cracking story about him 20 years ago when we were all at the Hibs tournament at the MEN in Manchester

I have the pictures somewhere. :greengrin

RIP Pasty.

[Forza Fred]

I knew Pasty from school and bumped into him in the Hibsclub when back home on holidays.

Sad to hear this news.

[brog]

I left Edinburgh over 40 years ago but Michael, aka Pasty, never changed. He even looked the same and he was always the Duracell bunny! Sad, sad news.

[hibbybob]

First met Pasty at the World Cup in Spain 1982. He was still showing photos from that trip years later to anybody/everybody whether they wanted to see them or not.
Quite a character and really likeable guy.
RIP Pasty.

[H18S NX]

So sad to hear about this,known him for years in the Hibs club and a few Scotland trips.RIP wee man,rest easy.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Very sad news. It's always hard reading these threads of another dedicated Hibby leaving us. RIP sir.

[surreyhibbie]

Didn't know the guy but its obvious from the comments on this thread that he was a well liked character and a good Hibby.

RIP wee man.

[stuart-farquhar]

Barry Island, 1985. Pasty chucked in the pool on numerous occasions. Easier than chucking big Frank!

Both will be sorely missed.

You could write a book about the antics Pasty got up to over the years. Lived life to the full.

[adam middlemass]

Didn’t know him personally, but always remember the cheery wee fella in the supporters club on Sunnyside. Him and big Frank always bumping the gums about the Hibees ! Both will be a big miss, RIP little & large. :flag:

[Just_Jimmy]

Didn't know him personally but I knew his face from the club over the years.

Always sad to hear the loss of a fellow Hibby.

RIP.

Aye, probably many of them couldn’t be recounted here….😂

I remember nearly pissing myself laughing one night in the Hibs Club when he told me about what led to his early graduation from Leith Academy!

Most people would bury it but even he could see the funny side of it!

[NthCarolinaHibs]

Very sad news....when we went to Strasbourg in 1978, for the Hibs game, nobody except Pasty had a hotel room,and when we found out where he was staying,we chapped his door..." Yous no got a room?" was his reply,and as a good few of us trooped into his room..."Aye ..we have now.."..he took it well and we crashed on the floor..
RIP wee man..

[linlithgowhibbie]

Yes he had a brother. David i think.

Pastie had an older brother, Ronald who has sadly passed, a wee brother called David and a sister called Susan. He lived just up the road from me near the Links, he was in Restalrig Road, I was in Gladstone Place. He was always a great wee guy. I remember being in stitches one time when he was used as a ventriloquists dummy, sitting on a guys knee and doing a belter of an act. RIP Mikey.

[DIXIHIBS]

Articles in the sun/record about him. Some kind words.

[Baldy Foghorn]

Brutal news Dixi.

A well know face, a games room regular. Always had a funny story

RIP Pasty

[Swedish hibee]

Rest in peace pal. very friendly man who never forgot my face over the years. Condolences to his family & friends.

[Scotty Leither]

You were unique, Mikey.

Rest easy wee man, until the next time pal.

RIP wee man..

I remember that trip well, the supporters bus was a hoot, drivers got lost in central France but found a sign which said ‘Gendarmerie’ and then spent ages trying to find the town of that name on the map !

[Frazerbob]

If anyone wants to go, Pastys funeral will be on Friday 14 July at Seafield Crematorium at 1pm then one of the function suites at Easter Road. I believe it’s open to all.

[McIntosh]

Michael was my next door neighbour when I lived in Bothwell House, he was a great lad. A funny, kind and warm human-being, an absolute Hibs fanatic. When I read this, I couldn't help think, what they will make of him upstairs. Well whatever they think, he really has joined the angels high above and I am certain, he will be singing, glory to the..........

[DIXIHIBS]

Quick update....there will a minutes applause for wee Pasty on sunday v st mirren on the 67th minute. Anyone who uses facebook/twitter etc....could you please pass this on. Many thanks.
