Site Supporter only1swanny Posted November 7, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted November 7, 2021 Nice mention of him by the announcer at half time today. Influenced my life massively by creating wanderersways. Been about 20 years.. Met him a few times and was a genuinely nice bloke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So glad Neil was mentioned today. 😢 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sam Posted November 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2021 Long time reader, first time poster. Thanks to Neil for creating a place that has been my go too for many many years for transfer, admin and all other news! RIP to a man who created a space where you can still feel the warmth and humour of the terraces despite being many miles away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bolty58 Posted November 8, 2021 Members Share Posted November 8, 2021 Only just seen this. Awful news. Met Neil a few times in my numerous visits. Great lad and a gentleman. Some of the fantastic experiences I had in Europe and at home would never have happened but for WWays. A big thanks for that, Happy Wanderer. RIP mate. It was a pleasure and a privilege to know you.

Wardrobe Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 As a White born and bred down South Rivals and this place have been one of the greatest gifts ever. Thank you Happy and rest well 🤍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianofcleveleys Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Very sad news, thoughts with and condolences to Neil's family. No doubt he did many great things in his life but setting this platform up would definitely have been one of them. The only forum I go on, never felt the need to look elsewhere, get all that I need from this one and very much enjoy reading all the views even if not that prolific a poster myself.

Underpants Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 This will always be HW site. That will never change. For years and years Neil had for a avatar the logo that was on the front of the club shop at Burnden Park. Would be nice tribute if we could have that as a header on the forum. For the ones who weren't around back in them days the club shop was called The Happy Shop. And I think, but I may be wrong, the name of that logo was the Happy Wanderer. God knows where he got that picture from because I've been searched for hours looking for a good one. This obviously won't be good enough for a tribute pic but this is what it looked like. Anyway, just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
