My deep sympathy to his family and friends. I saw the headline and initially thought no it can not be Darren Pitcher he is to young. So a real shock to learn this, it so shocking to hear about some one so young .
Very young indeed. Stalwart of the side when I first started going in early 90s and despite what happened leaving us, memories of him will be the Blackburn goal and assisting the first goal Back at the Valley. RIP
My overriding memory of Darren Pitcher was the assist for Colin Wash to score while I was at the valley despite my First born being due on that day ! Luckily My son waited to the 11th December 1992 to become another CAFC fan.
So sad when someone dies young at 49(same age that my closest aunt died )
Like many others my lasting memory is as a 13 year old listening to the Blackburn replay on Capital Gold on a radio in my bedroom. Got too nervous to listen in the second half so hid for the last 25 mins. Turned on Ceefax and saw it was still 1-0 with Pitcher still being the only goal scorer.
Thoughts with his family and friends on what must be a horrible day for them. Rest in peace Darren
