I have just been told that Dave died this morning

Very sad

The man was a legend

We will miss him

 

If so, RIP

There is a great interview with Darren on the coach to Mansfield before a 0-4 defeat which ended a long unbeaten run in the ealry 90s.

 

Dave "How are you Darren"

 

Darren "Im going in hospital next week"

 

Dave " What are you having done?

 

Darren "My bottom"

 

Dave laughing "oh yes he having his piles done!"

 

I've got the Phoenix Nights videos but have more laughs watching some of the roadrunner videos.

 

I've just pissed my knickers!

Bloody eck, just shown him on Granada Reports at the back end of the News At Ten. Sam commenting and a few clips of Dave. Including calling George Courtney a pig!!

higgy just got a mention on granada reports.seems flags will be at half mast for arsenal game.he should then get a mention on national tele                              

 

Just seen it.

 

Nice touch by Granada, Dave would be chuffed to bits.

What a pig of a referee

 

End of the day, we've all got to go sometime and least he went when Wanderers are sitting pretty.

As we know details about tributes to my dad from the Reebok we will let you know but at the mo it is a little quiet from the club as we are awaiting responses from them.

 

His funeral is at Overdale crematorium on Thursday 10th March at 10am and we will be going past the Reebok en route and are asking any fans who want to attend not to wear black but wear their Footy shirts!

BWFC requesting anecdotes and tributes be emailed to the club

LATEST FROM THE REEBOK STADIUM

 

Wanted: Your Memories Of Wanderers Superfan  

 

BOLTON WANDERERS Football Club would like to hear about your memories of legendary Wanderers fan Dave Higson, who sadly passed away earlier this week. As everybody connected with the football club knows, Dave was a superfan in every sense of the word, and the football club would like to remember him in a special way.

 

We'd like supporters who've got a tale to tell about Dave to email us with a message that we can publish in our matchday programme ahead of our FA Cup quarter-final clash against Arsenal on Saturday 12th March.

Whether it be a humorous anecdote from one of his legendary commentaries or a message of condolence, we'd like you to email feedback@bwfc.co.uk

Some amature Cup Final played at Burnden, interviewing the winning goal scorer for Marine.....

 

Dave............... "That the best goal you scored son"??

 

Marine player... "Err it's the only goal I have ever scored"

 

Dave ..............."Yeah, yeah I know that, but was it the best"

 

Marine player ....Stunned silence.......

Just like to add my condolences.

 

Remember seeing him with his stick, after being ill (stroke?)

Looked terrible, but couldn't keep away- the measure of a REAL FAN

 

God Bless

Garp can you contact her about the t-shirt idea?

Smiley, I already have. Awaiting a reply.

She is on the official board, Start a post on here and Il link it to her attention.

Boys, get back to the original thread.....

spoke to him last Sunday up at Newcastle when we were on stair flight 17 of 126...remember thinking how long it would take him to get down these stairs, as he did struggle after his stroke....he was slagging JJ off incidently...never frightened to say what he thought...a true gent.

RIP

R.I.P. DAVE JUST FOUND OUT SAD LOSS REGARDS TO HIS FAMILY

God help some them ex players he meets up in heaven.

 

I'll miss him passing on a Sunday on his way home from church.

 

Top lad.

 

Always spoke, said hello.

 

RIP Dave.

 

 

PS

 

The club better do summat.

Think when a bloke has left a legacy when he will be talked about for generations to come.

 

He did something right.

 

Well done Dave.

Hi Neil

 

I have spoken to my family and they would gladly like you to go ahead with your plans.

My mum would also like to say thankyou and was comforted by reading the messages left on the thread.

Hi Neil

 

I forgot to mention that wanderes are doing things to remember my dad and they have now been finalised between them and my family.

 

In my last email I forgot to say that we have requested for any donations to go to the BWDSA (Disabled Supporters) or The Scout Association. Is it possible for any proceeds from the T-shirts to go to the above charities please?

 

All things are being posted on the BWFC website on Monday. As there are a few things happening.

i met one of daves daughters and brian in tenerife on their honeymoon about 5 years ago.

 

also one of the great things about dave higson was that fans from other clubs liked him as well.

 

a mate who is a west brom fans favourite was

 

'tony philiskirk - the ice man cometh'

Hi I am Fiona Dave's Eldest daughter.

 

I am married but not to Brian.

 

The person you are thinking of is Melissa my younger sister she was married to Brian for four years but she is DIVORCED now.

Nice touch, Ian! [-X

 

PS Fiona, your dad was and will always be a Bolton Legend in the eyes of thousands!

ahhhhhhhh.

 

i am also DIVORCED from the person i was in Tenerife with.

 

As everyones says on here Fiona I appreciate how much you will be missing your dad at the moment, but hopefully the fact he meant so much to so many people and bought so much genuine joy to people is making things slightly easier.

 

Our thoughts are with you and your family.

Watched a couple of games with him on top of manny rd stand, I worked with jimmy goodinsons brother who did camera behind goal. R.I P.

Is my memory deceiving me or did he do the last game at Burnden, and the crown sang "Higson, Higson give us a wave"?

Torquay Sherpa Van Trophy Final -

 

A nice touch the Bolton players going over to the disabled supporters - or invalids so to speak.
