Not sure I like this, can’t tell at the moment, he died during the week and his funeral is on Wednesday. My young cousin has posted this on Facey, and it’s gone absolutely nuts.

One thing i do know is, he’d have found it hilarious.

11,000 likes, for a man who had NO idea what Facebook is. Bizarre.

And from STW, no likes from 11,000 men who have no idea what Facebook is. 😆

I think it’s really cool.

That’s ace. Some of the comments are lovely too…

“sorry to hear that but to lose to sunderland on this occasion i can live with that if it meant a true supporter went of to heaven happier Newcastle united fan best wishes x”

I think that it is pretty cool!

Many condolences to you on your loss.

I am on the losing, teams side.

But that was great, well worth losing the match for 😀

and I am sorry for your loss.

& as it happens, ‘Alan Kirsopp & 11,000 others like this’

Alan Kirsopp Is my nephew. Probly the same one cos he’s a Sunderland supporter (who lives in Finland)

You’re not from the North Shields area by any chance are you?

Naa, Durham but Alan’s from Oakenshaw near Crook. My Mrs’s ex is from North Shields though!

I was trained by an old bloke called Brian Kirsopp when I was an apprentice that’s all. One of thr best Pipefitters I ever worked with.

Not a common name & Alans grandad was from Gatesheed so there could be a link somewhere.
