It is with a heavy heart that I have to report that Stuart Crowther sadly passed away last night after a short illness.
Stu was responsible for the TANEHSH (The Absolutely Non-Essential Hibernian Supporters Handbook) fanzine in the mid 1990s and was a key member of the hibs-list e-mail mailing list and the International Hibs Supporters Club in the mid to latter part of that decade. I still vividly recall assisting Stuart with some of the inaugural hibs-radio broadcasts from the back of the old West Stand in the late 90s!
On 30 June 1999, Stuart registered the hibs.net domain name and soon thereafter founded this very website and forum. A few years later Stuart moved to Hibs in an official capacity as New Media Manager, playing an instrumental role in the establishment of HibsTV. Stuart thereafter "retired" to Moray in 2010 where he remained engaged in local community journalism, including as community editor for STV Local and playing a leading role in the insidemoray website.
Stu would have turned 66 this coming Saturday and was relishing a move to the East Stand next season to support the Hibs: yet another taken far too young. I am told that Linda and the family have asked to be left to come to terms with his passing of their own accord at this time.
While there were some differences had with Stuart from time to time over the years on this forum I am sure that we can all let bygones be bygones at this sad time. RIP Stu: to the angels high above; I'll see you behind the goals mate.

Stuart was the main man on here when I started posting in 01/02. A great Hibernian. R.I.P.

Sad news. RIP
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!"

I knew Stuart right from the start of this online adventure.
God bless you, SC, for all you did for the club.

I considered myself a friend of Stu's so I'm really sad to hear of this. Gave me a break when I was getting into writing and I'll always be grateful for that.

Ffs - that’s 2 folks I know in the space of 24 hrs taken far too soon.
I never got to meet Stuart but exchanged a few emails over the years and in some ways have him to thank for opening a whole new world t lo me through the Hibs list and it was he who advised me to get along to London Hibs - the venue of which (the long-gone Holyrood in Wells St where as luck would have it I met my future wife and the rest they say is history) glad I got to thank him albeit “virtually”
A fabulous legacy he’s left for the Hibs Online community.

Stuart always crossed my mind from time to time wondering if he was still following the Hibs. The main man when I posted here back in 2000/01.
RIP Stuart.

Stuart was the main man when I joined Hibs.net many moons ago. He was very good at what he did and did a few favours for me back then. Very sad to hear this news. RIP, Stuart.

Very sad news. Had the pleasure of meeting him several times and he was a real Hibs man with the Club very close to his heart. RIP

R.I.P. Stuart had a lot of good chat when Hibs net was in its infancy.
