there is never a right time to put sad news on web-site's but early this morning a great friend of everyone in the angling world past a way STEVE TOONE  Nottingham based[ripoff tooney] probably the first man to bring competitive angling to TV in the central classic at home pierrepont a great match organiser throughout the hay day of 300 peg matches trent,holme pierrpont, evesham,Welland,attenborough pits and in the last few years the river soar i think Steve was always a river man at heart never one to hold back on what he thought and give him a bad peg ,first you'd get the look and then you would be told .but always a cheeky smile as he walked away
two weeks ago on the sensas teams of four Steve took me to one side and said "joff i've not got long left on this plant" i replied with one hand on his shoulder "i'm very sorry to hear that" [not really knowing what to say ]Steve then replied" so give a crappity smacking good peg then" both smiled
well Steve you now have the choice of what ever peg you want now mate .top bloke a great laugh and angling is going to miss you   Image Image

sad news. First met Steve over 30 years ago on the matches he ran on Attenborough Gravels, always up for a laugh, loved his fishing.

Top bloke, gave a lot to fishing and will be sadly missed by many.

RIP Steve,

a sad loss. only met steve on sensas teams of four but smiled at the experience. it makes you think though that we don't know what's around the corner and should make the most of things while you can.
