I met Tony only a couple of times but from experience he was a lovely bloke.
The first time was when Wazza dropped by my place to introduce himself. I thought Wazza brought security with him, Tony was a big fella.
The second time was quite a while later but he remembered our names and he had a chuckle about my Thai wife's Aussie accent.
I'm sure he'll be missed by all his friends and family. RIP

It is nearly a year now since Tony passed away. As many of Tony's friends know Tony was very involved in local football here in Udon. Before Tony passed away he talked of plans to start a new football team in Udon. Tony wanted to call the team 'Udon International FC"
In memory of Tony we formed the team a few months ago, and we have a special game planned on Monday 22nd June to remember "Big Tony"
The special game is at Udon Immigration Office, (pitch is behind and to the left of the Immigration office building) and is 'Udon Tourist Police FC v Udon International FC. Kick off is 6pm. The game is not too serious (as Tony would have insisted!) and our International team has players from 20 years old to 62! The players of Udon International FC have contributed to purchase "The Prendergast Memorial Trophy" - and the winning team on Monday will be presented with the trophy.
After the game we will be going to BeeBee bar ( last bar in the row of bars opposite the Irish Clock) and expect to be there about 7-45pm.
All welcome to the game, and/ or The BeeBee Bar to enjoy a beer, and remember a great friend to many of us in Udon.
If you have any questions please PM me, or call into BeeBee Bar and Simon can give you further details. There is also a Facebook page "Udon InternationalFC" for more information abour our team,and next Monday.

I never met Tony but after reading the comments here I think he'd be really pleased about this game and the trophy named in his memory. He must have been a good friend to many of those who had the good fortune to meet him.
Lock 'em up - Eastman, Giuliani, Senator Graham, Meadows and Trump

Prenders was a good bloke.
