I have been informed by his daughter that Chris Thompson @Ketts passed away this morning .
Chris was the brains behind Dr Kish and made into a very popular blog . I have known him over the last six years and have contributed my mutual teams to the Blog .
He used journalistic principles of protecting his sources when ITK . My favourite example of this was when Francis Coquelin was recalled by Arsenal from his loan spell . Chris had the tip off from the Training Ground but leaked it to an Arsenal Blog who published it and were happy to take the credit . He then reported it for DK as 'sources in north London' .

Oh, that is shocking.
I messaged him only this morning and was surprised not to hear back from him.
Such a nice guy, such a dedicated fan who despite this health problems was always at games.
I will miss him and our pre-match chats on the low wall opposite the chippy on Floyd Rd.
