We have just learned of the sad and untimely death of Chris Barbor on New Year’s Eve. This reached us by email from Rob Brewster of Felixstowe Rugby Club, who wrote as follows:
“Hi Moseley Rugby Club
I thought I'd share with you the sad news that Chris Barbor passed away on New Year’s Eve.
Chris played for Moseley in the late 80's early 90's as hooker.
He moved to Felixstowe with his job in the late 90's and started playing rugby for Felixstowe Rugby Club where I was a young 2nd row. He taught me so much about forwards rugby and his experience helped Felixstowe rise through the eastern counties leagues. He was a familiar face at our rugby club and our living legend as most of us saw his recordings of rugby special when he played against the likes of Bath and Leicester as a Moseley player.
He will be missed by family and friends.”
We had learned a few weeks ago that Chris was seriously ill, but had been unable to obtain any contact details for him or his family. We have asked Rob Brewster to pass on the condolences of all at Moseley to the family and to Felixstowe Rugby Club.
