Happy Wanderer - Rest in peace 😢😢

[Carlos]

Thoughts are with Neil and his family, stuck in work unfortunately.

[Casino]

Also trapped here, miles away

All the best to family and thanks to all who attend

We intended shutting the site for a while but he would've been proper grumpy and we are not 100% how to get it back on

Rip Neil. God bless you and your amazing family 

[Rudy]

Sleep Well Neil.

And many more in spirit.

Just got back from the service. As them things go it was ok. WWs gets a mention. It was said that Neil was happy the site would continue. MickyD, Big City Girl, Smiley, Little Whitt, Victor Meldrew & Burnden were there.

Farewell, Neil.

I was there but didn't go in the church. I only called to see him in.

Were you on the corner at the top of that little street ? I was the bloke sat on his own on the wall.

You should’ve let on. Take a risk like we did with @burnden

Quite funny really, when the Priest told of Neil’s passion for the Wanderers. He told us he’d even told his wife never to try to come between him and his team. In closing, he told us Neil was very much a Happy Wanderer! 
 

I hope it was a passing reference to his user name on here rather than his state of mind when watching the Whites.

Spotted you and did wonder. Pity we didn’t get chance to say hello.

Well done to those who attended. Great effort boys and girls. RIP Neil. 

[Dimron]

I was sorry to hear the news, I've been off-grid and very quiet.

I'm certain our paths crossed in good ways over the years.

RIP

I was thinking I hadn't had the pleasure of meeting Neil but it dawned on me the other day that I probably had.

In the very early days of this board 2002 ish(?) they put a request out for someone to join a Wanderers quiz team on ITV digital at Granada studios.  I went along and there was Neil, Den(?) as 2 older guys, me and a young lad and lass there.  I keep hoping it'll pop up on YouTube one day.

Den, would be Dennis swift

Possibly Biffo was one of the other older chaps. Another Wanderer who’s passed. 🥲

Not been on here for ages, so only just seen this.

Only spoke to Neil a handful of times. Cracking chap and will no doubt be missed.

RIP HW
