(Knees head shoulders) and the Rangers asked him if he wanted a beer. well he stayed drinking with them by himself until midnight not knowing a single guy on the Rangers. that's the type of guy he was. friendly to who ever met him always smiling and joking around. |
I remember that night.We (the Rangers) had the barbeque out and were drinking pints after the game and were watching this guy run around the field with the ball juggling and taking shots on the open net for, no kidding, about 1/2 an hour.We yelled at him to ask him what the heck he was doing out there by himself and his response was he hadn't played in a while and was just practicing his touch on the ball.We invited him over and fed him a bunch of pints and I even shotgunned a beer with him.He was there until approx 2am in the morning with us until we had to close up the changerooms.
I'm sorry to hear the bad news because he seemed like a really good guy.I'd like to pass on mine and the Rangers condolences to his family, friends and teammates.
RIP Tyler
