Very sad news indeed. RIP Pav.
Re: Pavel Srnicek passes away aged 47
The only thing I remember about going to Peter Beardsley's testimonial is the crowd were going nuts for Pav when he came on. He got bigger cheers than Keegan. True Toon icon.
RIP Pav
RIP Pav

Truly gutted when I heard the news this afternoon. RIP Pav.

Gutted about the news and so young too. RIP Pav.

It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city.
Re: Pavel Srnicek passes away aged 47
Czech fan here. I don't normally intrude on another club's forum (I am a Sparta Prague fan), but I felt I wanted to share just how much Pavel genuinely loved your city and club. He was our goal keepers' coach when he died and played for many clubs throughout his career, but his one true love seemed to be Newcastle, even more so than Banik Ostrava, his Czech hometown club, where he first played in the top division of our country. I had the privilege of meeting him a few times, and his eyes lit up whenever Newcastle was mentioned (which was often, as he'd bring up the town and club himself regularly..). He felt at home amongst the Geordies and followed the club's results and goings-on religiously even years after he left, and everyone always felt that that was the place he wanted to be.
He was also genuinely one of the good guys. An absolute gent, modest and good-humoured, with not an ounce of arrogance or footballer's ego- very rare these days. When somebody passes away there is often a tendency to re-write their life story, and very ordinary people are suddenly put on a pedestal. With Pavel I can honestly say that this is not the case - there is nobody who has a bad word to say about him, he was a great guy and his death at the age of 47 is a tragedy. I hope that the fans will be vocal about what he meant to them at Newcastle's next game, his family would appreciate it.

Wonderful post
I'm the scumbag outlaw. You're the pillar of justice. Neither of us like looking at ourselves in the mirror. Do we have a deal?
Re: Pavel Srnicek passes away aged 47
Such devastating news about Pav. The one save that sticks in my mind is the wonder save v Man Utd.
47 is far too you. RIP PAV you will be misssed

Re: Pavel Srnicek passes away aged 47
Pavel's playing days for us were slightly before I got into football, but I've seen his name mentioned plenty of times amongst other great NUFC players of days gone by.
A tragic loss. As has already been said, 47 is no age at all. RIP

The sunset silhouette one?
That's Pav's top, in my opinion. Can never remember seeing Shaka in it. It's also fitting given the sun is setting if he were to be buried in that.
