Was thinking about him the other day. I remember having chats to him in the local about Town and he was the nicest kid you could wish to meet. His illness didn't seem to bother him at all and he was always laughing and joking. RIP Buzza.
Who's buzz a? Pm me as I don't want to hijack this thread |

Family flowers only, but all donations to “Cancer Vive” C/O A Slade and Son, 35 Dyer Street, Cirencester Glos. GL7 2PP Tel: 01285 656336. The family have invited everyone to “The George” in Kempsford after the ceremony at the Crematorium, but for those fans who wish to celebrate Iris’s life at the Ground where she spent so much time, the Supporters Club will also be holding a gathering at the County Ground at around 2.00pm on the same day. If you plan to attend the County Ground event it would helpful if you would please e mail The Supporters Club at enquiries@swindontownsupportersclub.com by Thursday 7th April, to help us provide for those planning to attend.

What sad news. My wife and I used to regularly speak to her home and away as we followed Andy (Nicho). She was full of vitality and infectious enthusiasm. Lovely lady!

Iris is/was a genuine legend in the realms of Swindon Town football club, such a shame that the players don't take a leaf out of her book and give everything they have for the love of the club as Iris did. |

Maybe naming one of the stands the Iris Higgs Stand would be appropriate? Maybe the supporters club could organise a whip round to pay sponsorship for it?

Iris Higgs - Book of Condolence / Memories / Tributes
Following Iris’s funeral there will be a book of condolence / memories available outside the entrance to Legends lounge from 12.30 – 2.30 pm ahead of both the MKD and Notts County games for fans to add their personal tribute.
Outside of these hours the book will also be available in the STFC ticket office, during their normal opening hours from the Monday after the MKD game.
The Supporters Club will be presenting the book to Iris’s daughter after the Notts County match.
There are also plans for a permanent display inside Legends lounge in memory of Iris and her stoic and enthusiastic support of Swindon Town.

A brilliant idea - The Stratton Bank has had the Adkins Family Stand on it for nearly 2 seasons now - (sure that naming thing was just for 1 season) The Iris Higgs Stand would sound a lot better and would be a fitting tribute |
