Has anyone contacted the club ? The club sent him a card signed by the first team saying they are thinking of him, after I contacted them a few weeks ago.

Top work mate. Not sure how I got to donate such an odd figure? Must have been related to the days exchange rate. No matter - great cause.

Said it before but there cant be many other football forums as strong as this one, with as much history and a hell of lot good stuff come from the place, friendships, charities and the likes. Fair play for keeping it all going Neil. its the longevity that sets this site apart, I was 19 in 2006 when I first joined, bonkers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joined in 2006 as a 15 year old - I’ve now been coming on here for more of my life than I haven’t. Can you imagine if there was something that told you how long you’d spent on the site over the years (please don’t tell me there is one)!? Anyway, all the best to Happy Wanderer - it’s great to see the site get behind such a good cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's more or less how I remember it timewise. I was talking to Dick Smiley at the bottom of the Steps outside the Happy Shop about White Love and he asked if I'd like to send some stuff in for publication. That must have been 2000ish as I was still at the paper mill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interesting, I used to contribute for HWGA and then White Love, mainly the Dear Brownie stuff etc. I think I showed the lad who cut and pasted it all together around the Breeze Block under construction one evening, I did a quite a few informal tours so uncertain. I was also on an internet web board in the late 90s as Dimron, I thought it was hosted by BEN but I could be wrong. I drifted away from it all when I moved to Cambridge and Megson came along.
