Popular Post jules_darby Posted October 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 13, 2019 Long time readers / posters will remember a bloke who posted as Djorkaeff...avid Wanderer, played for the clackervalves, likes 18 holes and general nice guy. Well today he ran the Manchester half marathon and raised over £620 for a charity that supports families dealing with a severe and rare condition that affects children. He chose that charity cos it affected my eldest. And I met him through this site. Back when we socialised, met at games etc and before the amateur accountants moved in and looked disparagingly at us because we aren’t CIMA qualified. Massive thanks to Djorkaeff, a reminder of why it’s important for us to still have BWFC to make these social connections and another example that we aren’t the Neanderthal, vile, druggy thugs that we’re made out to be. Well not always Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burndens Bogs Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I think it was Bolty introduced me to Djorkaeff back in the Euro jaunt days, thoroughly nice chap - it sounds like he ran for a worthy cause. Well done Djorkaeff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted October 13, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted October 13, 2019 I know Djorkaeff and I know your story too Jules. I’ve not got around to putting a couple of shillings in the pot yet but I will be doing so it will go up a bit yet. The old git did a reasonable time too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bolty58 Posted October 14, 2019 Members Share Posted October 14, 2019 Top drawer all round. Once we get past the bickering, some of the long termers on here often prove that their hearts are in the right place when it comes to stuff which really matters. There have been plenty of examples over the years but ones which stick in my mind are the Skopje orphange, NIC's testicular cancer efforts, support for certain families when the man of the house has become 'unavailable' for one reason or another. Ways of Wanderers to be commended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ways of Wanderers to be commended. Yeah - I have to say the support was fantastic, WW raised a huge amount. Maybe less bickering and more of this stuff. My sister ran it yesterday, very proud of her. Just looking into the Rome marathon in April so I might be back with my begging bowl. If I do get a place perhaps the good folk of WW might help me selected a charity that’s close to our collective hearts? Perhaps something that we can all raise money for long term as well? Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
