I'm starting to feel old now when footballer's I use to watch as a young man star to die.

RIP Doog.

Sad news.

RIP Derek.

Can I take this opportunity to also say RIP Ken Bigley.

A very good player and more or less a one club man. The wrong club, but respect to him, nonetheless.

Ken Bigley ?????

Regarding Dougan I always remember a story a pal of mine told about his time in the Royal Marines.

Late 1970's early 1980's he was in 45 Commando on a tour of Belfast. They were on patrol in Belfast city centre when Dougan, and a couple of his mates, came out of a hotel bar. Tail End Charlie in the patrol was a Wolves fan and he shouted out something encouraging to the Doog, whilst identifying himself as a Wolves fan. Dougan's response? "feck off out of my country, you English bastard."

Not sure whether to like him or despise him after that really. Still RIP.

Oh ... it's just that Ida Bailey from down our street died yesterday & I wondered if I could join in ?

I was concerned that we could only mention people who were in a dangerous country trying to earn a fast buck BECAUSE it was dangerous, but we should feel sorry for because that danger turned out to be real.

Not like genuine people out there as a sense of duty, doing what soldiers do, but there to get a big wedge, like what Mr Bigley was doing.

RIP Ida Bailey.

Same with the BBC fawning over those British chaps who were out there as mercenaries earning £500 a day as bodyguards who ended up dead.

Serves em right for being so damn greedy

Steve Kindon, ex Burnley and Wolves, and very good Sportsmans Dinner speaker used to tell a blinder about Doog.

Long rambling story but the punch line is that at Wolves, Doog was "such an irritating C*nt that his nickname was Thrush"

Whatever the ins and outs of Bigley, I doubt that a thread in honour of another man's death is the place to discuss it

Which makes Mich's insistence on mentioning it a little odd

That's because Mich is a little odd.

Scratch that. Can I upgrade 'little' to 'very'?
