Simon Musk Instagram – From 2004 to 2008, whilst trying to make it as a full time pro wrestler, I worked in a book shop in Leeds called Borders. For a few years, the job was an amazingly fun time in my life and I used to look forward to coming into work every day. One of the main reasons for this was working with a fella called Tony. From pretty much my first day, Tony looked out for me and went out of his way to help me, and we became good friends. We’d work together on the tills and in the stockroom, and he’d have me crying with laughter. He was outspoken (to the point of constantly winding management up) and was such a brilliant person to have around for morale, and he made cold 7am starts in the winter far more enjoyable than they had any right to be! He left the job before I did, and on his last day he gave me a big hug goodbye. This morning I got a message from an old work colleague that Tony passed away this week, after losing his battle with liver cancer. I’m able to look back on all the hours I spent with Tony, either at work or drinking incredibly cheap bitter in the Angel, with a lot of fondness. He lived a full and happy life, and I hope he knew just how many of my days he made brighter. Rest In Peace mate.
