Smiley Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Doug Ellis just pulled up in a huge Rolls Royce with AV1 number plate. Presume it was him. Looks very old. Decent turn-out already at the Parish Church. Breightmet "Ferny's Lads" flag already waving around - outside Bolton News office.
frank_spencer Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 I'm on traffic light duty making sure the cortege gets from the church to the crem. I'm wearing my 1989 sherpa van trophy final tie today too.
bolty58 Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 I'm sat here in Perth in my 'Working Class hero' tee shirt with Nat and Bill Ridding on the front, wishing I was there. Thoughts are with Nat and his family.
Chris T. Church Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Sad day for Bolton but I hope there are plenty in town to see off the great man. Nice piece in the New York Times about him - I bet he never dreamt of the kind of reaction his passing would have, shows the measure of the man. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/26/sports/soccer/26iht-SOCCER26.html?ref=soccer
frank_spencer Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 There's a large crowd just left Victoria square. I'm off to my post about 1.
EyesRight Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Live footage on Bolton News website, not started yet though, unless my link is playing up. Wishing I was there but stuck in work, can hide behind my desk watching it online though.

surrey_white Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 How wierd watching a funeral online It's not just the funeral, they are doing interviews with players (SKD) past managers (Big Sam) and the fans. Also showing clips of his career.
