Dave Higson

Think today is 12 months to the day since the legend passed away.

 

RIP Dave - A true BWFC legend.

 

Gone but never forgotten.

my favourite memory has to be against Boro in the Carling Cup & we were outside a hotel pub nect to the main road & I saw 1 bloke sat on a coach to which we all sang 'cum in a taxi'...then we realised it was Dave Higson so we all sung, 'there's only one Dave Higson', he really loved it god bless him & he was waving like the Queen Mother. Like I say, God Bless him!

If I remember rightly Newcastle away last year was his last game ever following the whites. A chorus of Ding Dong Do, should be the order of the day on Saturday.

God Bless him

Our thoughts are still with his wife Barbara and family

He was a top man, when someone dies like him you cannot replace the void.

 

R.I.P.

RIP Dave

 

He brought many a smile to many peoples faces. Not a lot of people can say that

RIP

correct. hopefully we can mark it with a win

I think that's why I fell foul of jim - acting like a pussy on the coaches as a kid.

Nice poem about Dave in the BEN obituaries tonight

 

Does`nt seem 12 months ago does it.

 

RIP

 

Top fella

12 months have gone by so quickly and he would be so chuffed with the progress of the Wanderers.

 

Missed by all friends and family

 

Gone but never forgotten

 

Proud to be able to of known and call him our DAD!

our thoughts are with you and your familly

He'll probably be remembered for a lot longer than some of the current playing staff at BWFC - I think that says a lot about the man.

 

Always Missed, Never Forgotten

RIP dave

 

wish you could have been with us in europe but im sure u were watching us from afar

I often think of Dave and smile. The man was Bolton Wanderers through and through, an absolute legend who is sadly missed.

 

RIP Higgy.

A true Wanderers legend, never forgotten, these posts show the respect we have.

Part of our culture, part of our soul.

 

RIP Dave

 

Born To Be A Wanderer

RIP dave  

 

wish you could have been with us in europe but im sure u were watching us from afar

 

My sentiments exactly.

How proud would Dave have been at Bolton's European success?

The Euro adventure was a fiiting tribute to a lifelong Wanderers fan and a gentleman to boot.

 

RIP Dave: one of my heroes. =D>

Great man. Knew my missus and various relatives from B.Ae and helped my son (then 8) to run on if front of the team as a mascot at a 3rd round FA Cup tie v Reading in 1992. Good enough to send me the video including a pre match interview with my lad which is one of our most treasured possessions. One of the greatest Wanderers fans of all time and very sadly missed.

He'll probably be remembered for a lot longer than some of the current playing staff at BWFC  -  I think that says a lot about the man.

 

Always Missed, Never Forgotten

 

think that sums it up for me.

 

Legend. RIP

should definately get a 'theres only one Dave Higson' going at the newcastle match.

 

Only wish he could of been with us on our European trip this season.

 

What a ding dong do

 

RIP Dave Higson

 

"theres only one Dave Higson"

 

from the Ellesmere Boys Morris Green

Top bloke, greatly missed by all wanderers fans

Top bloke watched 93/94 compilation just last night, so much better than the pap the club put out today.

I often think of Dave and smile. The man was Bolton Wanderers through and through, an absolute legend who is sadly missed.

 

RIP Higgy.

 

I think you have summed him up brilliantly there. =D> =D> =D>

 

Every memory of Dave is a good memory, it aint a bad way to be remembered 'i often think of Dave and smile.'

 

Ding dang do.
