Awful news, especially just after Kirky. RIP Al, one of the best.

    Great day, thanks to everyone who made it there, I'm sure a good few quid was raised, on a footnote; the juniors presentation (under 10) before the event, raised £172.50 with a raffle, now this money

  • Come on chaps let’s get donating a few quid.  Al raised thousands for folk in need, let’s do the same for him.    https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/allanmather?utm_term=K8GMEz4rG

RIP Al Mather a great bloke , a true wanderer.

I hope the club recognise what he did to unite and help fans and families of our great club.

Put so much time into the group

always thanked folk for the work they did for the group yet him, Steve, Nicola, Carl and all the others went above and beyond.  Al really is going to be missed, the time and effort he put in was amazing as part of a great team.  R.I.P Al x

What horrible news to wake up to this morning.  I only met him about 18 months ago but he was lovely.  Passionate about BWFC and the effort he put in to the Rememberance Group was admirable.  
 

I'll miss chatting to him on matchdays.
 

Thoughts to his family and also the hundreds of friends he clearly had x

Spoke to him the other year and gave him some print advice, suggestions, recommendations, etc. Messaged him a few times here and there. And then finally met him on the coach to Sheff Weds this season. Wasn’t the picture of health, but had a cracking sense of humour on the day. Since met him again at the big Remembrance Evening at the stadium last September. (Might have those dates wrong way round).

Did so much for so many. A selfless man. A huge hole has now been created and will need some big boots to fill it for sure.

RIP Al. Another Wanderer taken too soon.

Posted on the other thread. But RIP to the big man. Sad to hear.

 

Chatted to Al at the remembrance do at Astley Bridge in August, thanked him for the work the group did but he was just so humble. It's not about me or the group but looking after the town of Bolton etc.

Not many people have my total respect having not met them very often and not knowing them on a personal level but Al did.

Can't really speak any higher than that from my personal point of view

Don’t think i’ve ever met Al unfortunately, although i’m sure our paths have crossed many times.

I know Haguey pretty well & he was telling me all about the RG the other week.

Sounds like Al was a top fella & totally selfless.

Rip

I’ll be making a guest appearance against the wanderers 11. Should be a cracking day.
