Especially from the club itself. I also think he would be very proud of himself on what he achieved with the community he built. Something I don't think he would have fully realised at the time. Well done BWFC 👏 Edited November 9, 2021 by Underpants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noxid Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Very sad news. Rest in peace my friend. Thanks for all your time, effort and hard work running a great web site. It's the one I always go to first for any info. Kindest regards to your family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Traf Posted November 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2021 Neil & I didn't always see eye to eye, possibly because we're both grumpy old men, but I have/had nothing but respect for the man and the world is now a poorer place without him. Sleep well, you miserable old bugger C xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazBob Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 (edited) I wonder if Neil ever sat back and thought about the, literally, thousands of friendships this site has been the catalyst for. I've got dozens of lads I'd class as genuine friends, solely because of this site, as I'm sure the majority do too. He's left behind a hell of a legacy. I do hope he was proud of it.

Moderators Horwich Posted November 10, 2021 Author Moderators Share Posted November 10, 2021 Hi Horwich. My dads funeral will be at Holy Infants Church, Bolton on Tuesday 23rd November at 11 am. From there we will be going to Radcliffe crematorium for 12.30pm. There’s not going to be any wake afterward as that would have been my dads worst nightmare 🤣. Please let WW know, you’re all more than welcome x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L/H White Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Are there any plans to send a wreath? One that simply reads WandersWays would be fitting enough Or would it look tacky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escobarp Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Count me in if we are sending something please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Sharps Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Just wanted to pay my respects to HW, didnt know him personally but used this place many moons ago and he no doubt started off what is the undisputed champion of Wanderers forums which inspired all the others that followed. Thoughts with his family and freinds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
