not a day goes by without talking about you! I’m sure your blessing Joél from afar 

Always in our thoughts ❤️❤️

Still hurts my brother, but I smile every time I drive past Zen Lounge where we we celebrated your existence over a meal. Your memory will forever live on. From Gloucester Primary, to Bacon's Collage to Crystal Palace Stadium. 
A real one, truly missed, had so many funny moments but also deep conversations. 

Idris was the toughest Compeditor I ever faced.. He never ever wanted to lose to me and I would definitely say he had the win lose record on the track between us.. I will remember him as such a funny person.. I knew him from 17 years of age and he always had big plans being so clever and informed.. 

If I ever meet him somewhere he would always make time to speak to me and that always continued until just a couple of weeks before we lost him.. 

He was a joy of a person who was very serious yet managed to keep that boy inside.. I miss but particularly every time I go to Sutton arena where he would always be coaching his football kids.. 

I thank God for the person he was and that I had a chance to know him.. 

God bless his family and his partner who I'm sure will miss him on which would of been his 40th Birthday.. 

He believed he used his time well on earth and my hope is I will see him again. 

Love Sammy

Idris was a good friend and also my son Jaami's coach and we still cannot believe how this good person was taken away so early, we all miss him and he was and still is irreplaceable.  Idris played a pivotal role in guiding Jaami on his journey. His untimely departure has left an irreplaceable void, and the impact he had is deeply felt by all of us. We continue to cherish his memory and the profound influence he had on Jaami's life together with all of his students. His loss is truly felt, and his goodness and support will always be remembered.  Al Fatiha 

The love that surrounded you and the lives you touched keeps you alive.

Thanks for all the memories.

I felt so sad to have a talented athlete and coach go at such a young age. Idris was a very spirited and gifted athlete with fast leg speed, when he came to my training group. He developed into one of the best athletes in the county, and a gifted coach. He will be greatly missed by the Club, athletes, friends and family.
Salaam family,
I was doing hurdle drills at Sutton arena and i fell over doing them as i lost my footing. I got up and finished my drills and Idris clapped for me and encouraged me to continue after I got up. Very clean heart and positive influence. I learnt don't give up when you fall.
In response to "What did you learn from Idris?"
Sharing, love , friendship above culture , language , the language of heart is the most important!! Rest in power my brother !! Love you!!
In response to "What did you learn from Idris?"
