I remember Ebbo with a profound sadness, because here was a man who was really a man in the true sense of the word. Like Mauritz van der Berg, Ebbo Bastard would go with you through hell or high water.

He was a man of his word who would never let his team down. If you told Ebbo something he would reply "I'll be there" and you could count on that. His tragic death came as a great shock to all who knew him.
