Bill Moore

[sassafras]

It was with great regret that i heard of the passing of Bill Moore on Good Friday after a long illness.Bill was a long standing member of the North East Sports Quiz league and the recently closed Cleveland Sports Quiz league.
They certainly broke the mould when Bill was born,a man with a competitive spirit second to none,nevertheless humble in victory and respectful in defeat.Bill was a wonderful character, never shy to share his opinion,he made his mark in any quiz he participated.A'feisty' individual with a never say die attitude that pulled victory from the jaws of defeat on many occasions.Bill motivated me to further my sporting knowledge and i owe him a great debt for the tremendous enjoyment i now gain from sports quizzes.
A proud man of great integrity, Bill will be sadly missed by all who played with and against him in the sports quiz league.Thanks Bill

yes

a real nice guy.

i recall the early days 25 years ago at the ship (on middlestone moor?) Used to get lost going there, still do going to leeholme! i won their trophy i somehow managed to lose it. Not a word said.

Always had a twinkle in his eye, did bill.

I know the spennymoor lads will miss him but a few more will too and they'll also remember his camaraderie when it came to sports knowledge.

Mike,

Sad news indeed.

Always found Bill to be a good competitor and a friendly man.

Condolences both to family, and all his friends at Leeholme.

RIP Bill.
