November 10, 200421 yr I'm another one who didn???t know him but having done the lower leagues in the 80's I would say there is a good chance that we had met. Condolences to family and friends. Laurence (ex A/B)
November 11, 200421 yr I didn`t know the lad but I`m sure I would have met and talked to him in years gone by. Condolences to his family and friends. RIP
November 11, 200421 yr Very sad story. Don't know him, but probably a face i would recognise at the game from down the years. RIP.
November 11, 200421 yr Theres a tribute for him on Englandfans, but I can't seem to get on, anybody know how to???
November 11, 200421 yr And in Lisbon - Pre-season - watching Bolton. Ferny in the White Wanderers Shirt. (WW posters Biffo and Mounts Kipper can be spotted on here also!)
November 11, 200421 yr did not know him too well...but enough to know he was a top lad.... deepest sympathy to family and freinds
November 11, 200421 yr What a shame. Didnt know him personally but saw him only last Sunday at Boro outside Dr Browns pub and have shared the same train as him on countless occasions watching the Whites. My thoughts and prayers go to all the Family. RIP.
November 11, 200421 yr funeral decisions being made today, will post tommorrow, Veronica has indeed requested all attendees wear Bolton/England shirts. Fearnys ashes will be scattered at The Reebok. Fitting place for him. Reebok Voice is making enquiries at the ground re-minutes silence, but obviously thats not his decision and he can only do his best, he will however try to mention him, so for the first time ever, can we all be at the match before kick off. ( not that fearny ever was !!!) Veronica has requested that flowers come from family only, and is coming to a decision on charitable donations. She has recieved many emails from friend of Fearnys up and down the country, and is touched by the many mentions for him on message boards etc.
November 11, 200421 yr An absolute Tragedy. Fearny was Bolton Wanderers through and through. He will be sadly missed. My thought are with Veronica and his family.
November 11, 200421 yr never good to hear about anyone's death, let alone a fellow Trotter RIP Fearny
November 11, 200421 yr Its just sinking reading all these messages friend of mine for 25 years just having a laugh last week about something we did when we were 17
November 18, 200421 yr I met Fearny for the first time in Lisbon this last summer and I have since met him at most if not all the away games since. I found him to be a real genuine and nice guy who had time for everyone. My sympathy goes out to his wife and family.
November 18, 200421 yr sad to hear about his passing . Met him only a couple of times but he was a top man thoughts with all the family and friends. R.I.P
November 18, 200421 yr RIP Ferny Did'nt know him but reconisged him from the photo, i'm pretty sure it was Ferny who scared the living shit out of me at i think it was sunderland away when Okocha scored. If it was him, he went ragging mental. Respect to the guy, true football fans role model. The Wanderer
