Sir Philip Carter, R.I.P.

[Jacob]

Sir Philip was a rock for the club when times were bad and a constant throughout the good times too. A very professional personable gent who, as Peter Reid says in the many tributes on the club website, exemplified our club in one word.....class. Respectful condolences to Lady Rita for so long as ever by his side at Goodison.

1:22:22 into this,fitting words from Sir Philip,so true,RIP.

Great words. Makes me wonder how he could have felt looking on the past couple of decades after hearing those words come out of his mouth.

Met him after the first ever "Hall of Fame" 'do' at The Adelphi. We were very, very hammered on the way out and he handled my mate's arm round him, imploring him to "come The Paradox with us, Phil, lad" with dignified aplomb. As we staggered out, he said "have a splendid evening, gentlemen". Topped off a tremendous night.

Haha this is boss,

RIP Sir Carter

I'm sure he will have been a calming influence behind the scenes during this tricky season and his wise counsel will no doubt be missed by board & management in the future.

Good to know that he will have experienced a happy goodison again in recent times but equally I'm sure the great man forgave & even shared our frustration with a season full of promise failing to deliver.

RIP

I hope the first thing he does up there is punch Shankly in the balls.

RIP Sir.

He'll undoubtedly get a fantstic minute's applause before the game on Sunday. Best way we can celebrate his life and committment to the club is by giving Man U a good spanking

Ironically, it was before the Man U game when we marked the passing away of Bally in 2007, who then duly beat us 4-2. Hopefully we won't get beat this time...

May you Rest In Peace, Sir

Rest In Peace Sir.
