Copied from Sid's post in 2013
Chris Gibbons was a poster on the original Rivals.net Albion Message Board and posted under the name SambaApe
Chris died in December 2006.
He was a young lad who lived in the Lake District and died in a car crash. When a family friend posted on the site that SambaApe had died, his last post on the site was tracked down and became a memorial. The posts from the original Rivals.net site are reproduced below.
The thread had 1517 replies in December 2007 when the new Rivals.net site launched. I have yet to retrieve the messages from the last site, but know that by closure on 1st July 2009 there were over 2,700 replies. I shall continue to try and retrieve those messages.
Sadly those threads also included messages for other lost Baggies like onecantello. RIP all our lost friends...

I'm starting another new thread & guessing we were up to
8,600
I'm happy to amend that if anyone thinks different
