Mick loved the post-match hospitality that The Windmill used to lay-on for us. Sometimes I think that was the only reason he came down on a Sunday morning! haha

Another team photo, he loved his red jacket!

Lovely tribute guys, well done.

Post match at the Windmill was top notch and they used to lay on a great spread for us, the banter was always superb with Mick usually in the thick of it - good times!

The shirt to the left of him, was that the commemorative EMAP shirt you gave to him Sean?

We used to win back then as well!

I have had trouble getting onto the site for the last few days, but just wanted to pass on my condolences to the Belson family. I spent two seasons with Mick going through that mornings game over a pint and putting the rather small world of Sunday football to rights. Very enjoyable conversations, and enlightening to say the least!

Put my name down for any team/match arrangements.

Cheers

Ian

Minute silence for Mick B.

We beat Leverington 'A' 7-1 with SSPIO Reserves today. When I ran the reserves with Mick B, our first match was against Leverington 'A' in 2007 and we won 6-1. We had fish 'n' chips and a pint in the clubhouse after and felt on top of the world with our newly formed side.

RIP Mick, I even scored a rare left-footer for you today

i wanted to share this light hearted moment at micks funeral friday, mick got carried into the church by family members, on top of mick was a football made of flowers, as the lads took mick through the 1st door the ball hit the top of the door frame, much like hitting the crossbar, as they approached the 2nd door, which was lower, i could heard mick mentally saying' for F's sake lads dont drop the ball!!!, just as it looked like the ball would hit the bar and bounce away the boys must have heard him as they all dipped at the same time and the ball sneaked in just under the bar! GOAL!!! what a result. what a fantasic way for me to remember the late great mick belson, where even in death he had me thinking about the beautiful game. great turn out and massively supported.

Great to hear that story Al and that the funeral was well-supported.

It was a real memorable day, so much support there for him and his family it was brilliant.
I along with many others couldnt get in the church there were that many people there but fortunately the sun was shinning down for the day.
The wake or celebrations however you want to look at it were brilliant there were again loads there and the whole day was just perfect.
Some good stories from Jed and another fella who i dont know had us all laughing and some classic pictures of Mick up on the projector were just priceless.
R.I.P mr Belson.

A fitting send off for Mick, the turnout at the church just shows what a top bloke he really was.
Michaels speach in the church was something else too and it said so much about Mick and his family.
Back at Ebeneezers for a fitting final send off and again so many of us there all paying tribute, Harbs you're right, Ged has us in stiches as did a few others with classic tales of Micks past, some of the photo's up on the projector were brilliant too, Mick with a 70's tash etc..

A top bloke - RIP.

Thank you to all the footballers and friends who turned up and made dads send off such a special day. Also due to your kindness the fund raising towards brain tumour research has begun with 1700 quid raised on the day. Me Mum and all the family were touched by how many people turned up but also pleased that everyone enjoyed celebrating dads wonderful but all so short life... he would have been over the moon .

he has gone but will never be forgotten
