Pretty sad really, the least they could do is have a minutes silence, especially for those lads that survived Munich.
Hope the old fella pulls through.

Very sad news. Hope he pulls through

Glad to hear he a lot better now. Had a visit from Bobby Charlton yesterday as well.

Can't believe how low Bobby will stoop to get rid of his spare tickets.

Rumour is they weren't spare. He wants out of the acs as well.

Thank £#%&! - opened the thread presuming the poor man has passed.



Delighted to hear he's much better now, Cheers.

A real gentleman

Hope he makes a speedy recovery

My Uncle worked at Colgates. John Brown he was called . He was the rummest @#%&! you would ever meet. Ask your mum. Everyone knew him. loads from Colgate came to his funeral a few years ago (he died of cancer about 5 years ago)

I stayed at the Sheraton Hotel in Delhi a few years ago.

In the bathroom was a bar of Imperial Leather manufactured in Kersal.

Fair brought a tear to my eye.

Washed it out and it was fine actually.

cheers mate. i'm actually claiming some of the credit for his recovery.

in fact, sod it. his recovery isn't down to medicine or his incredible fighting spirit, but entirely down to this thread.

just call me jack nightingale
