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.

I saw Reebok voice v2 before the game and asked him to mention him.

So glad Neil was mentioned today. 😢

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.

Ive hardly had a signal for a couple of days and found out from @BOWTUN BAKEDs message on my phone

Hes just one of probably hundreds of folk id never have gone beyond nodding terms without this place

If neils aim 20 odd years ago was just to provide a chat forum, he failed massively

its gone way beyond that

RIP Happy Wanderer

Good point.

The social events, The Euro jaunts,The away days, The money raised for many different causes, the friendships, the camaraderie, the banter , the togetherness, the memories made.

Priceless. Thanks Neil.

Rip fella.

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.

[Flannel Truscott]

Only met him once on a euro trip but been on here a long time. RIP Neil, and thanks for everything.

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 🤍

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.

RIP Happy.

Sad news, thoughts are with his family.

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

Surprising what you find when you search “Happy Wanderer”

Did we once have a terrace chant using this?
