Chris’ story
The man we knew
Chris Ramsey was the kind of person who made wherever he was feel like home, for himself and for everyone around him. He grew up in Perth, Western Australia, eventually making the leap to the UK in 2009, and built a life in London that was full of the things and people he loved most.
He was a self-proclaimed coffee snob, the kind who had opinions about beans, brewing methods, and never settled for anything mediocre. He loved to travel, adored his family and friends, and gave everything to the sport he loved.
At the centre of his world was his wife Bianca. When Chris was diagnosed with bowel cancer in late 2021, Bianca was beside him from the very first moment, not just as a partner but as his anchor. Through four years of surgeries, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and ablative therapy, she was instrumental in his care, his comfort, and his ability to keep living with the warmth and positivity that everyone who knew him will remember. The fight Chris fought, he fought with her.
Chris died on 1 October 2025. Through all of it he remained completely, stubbornly, beautifully himself, and that was in no small part because of her.
Bianca's connection to Brentford didn't end with Chris. The club has remained a source of support and warmth for her since his passing, and her ties to the people there remain strong. In the way they showed up for Chris during his illness, and the way they have continued to show up for Bianca since, Brentford demonstrated what it truly means to be a club family.
