 Terrible news even though we knew it was coming.

Not many  - if any - on here or elsewhere got to Wembley for both '58 and '66. A genuine fan.

Got an old home programme somewhere from late 70s - Arsenal I think - were he'd put out an advert for the fledgling London Whites. Did so much for that and help make living down there so much easier for fans in exile in the pre-internet days.

Always seemed to bump into him  at away days - from Brum to Besiktas.

If there's a consolation it's that I'm pretty sure he got more out of his time after being diagnosed than he could have hope for, which is a blessing.

RIP owd son

It's never a good day to lose a fellow White.

 

Whether it be an ex-player, servant to the club, or more importantly a lifelong passionate Boltonian. The beating heart of a club is always scarred by their passing.

 

Thoughts are with their family & friends today.

 

Rest in Peace fellow White Knight.

Definitely one who did his bit for his BWFC fellow-travellers. A sad time, but much happiness to remember.
