RIP Shaky

RIP Shaky

One particularly nice memory of Shaky was from last year. I'd mentioned that I was going on a cruise for my honeymoon in May and he asked me which ports I was calling in at. I said it was a Med cruise visiting Rome, Pisa, Barcelona etc. I logged off thinking no more about it.

Next time I logged in I noticed that Shaky had sent me a PM. He'd given me cruise tips with regards to excursions, he'd given me advice on how to travel around Rome in the most time efficient way including full directions and maps etc, he'd also told me all the best places to visit. He also did the same for Barcelona. The reason for the PM rather than a normal post was; "I didn't want Yoga wrecking the thread." which made me laugh. 😀

I thought this was a wonderful gesture and really appreciated the fact that he'd taken time out of his day to give me all this advice. Him doing this despite the fact that we'd never actually met in person is a testament to what a nice guy he actually was.
 
Shaky will be cursing you all and shaking his fists for saying that he was "nice".

He was a twat, a nice twat!

I have been asked to post this by his daughter.

Shaky, or Dave to those of us who knew him personally, sadly passed away today. I'm not going into it the details.

he could be a grumpy, argumentative and downright arsey git he was a top bloke and one of my best mates. I'm gutted.

If anyone wants funeral details please PM me and once I know I will pass it on.

RIP Dave... Always remember you and love ya to bits mofwog. Xxx

Totally shocked by this. Might have divided some people with his views, but clearly a passionate PNE fan and top bloke. RIP.
 
Terrible news, even if he didn't really agree on things with almost everybody on here it's somebody who will be missed.

RIP Shaky.

Joining the PNE faithful in the sky - say hello to my son while you are up there.
 
Very sad news indeed.. condolences to his family I sincerely hope the many genuine comments here will bring a measure of comfort to his family. Like others I never met the fella.

But Shaky was always the poster you could count on to bring a thread to life.. sometimes I would wince and on other occasions I would simply howl laughing.
Nobody could ever call him dull.. he was undoubtedly an extraordinary multidimensional character.

The socialist hound trailing bookie is no more.. and will be sadly missed.

I consider it a priviledge to have taken part in the legendary "terrorist sheep" thread with him.. in which he basically took on "atheistic rationalism" and fought its advocates to a standstill.

I doubt the forum will ever be quite the same.. f***wits will be doing triple salco's at this news.

It's been a pleasure..

I couldn't sleep last night, my brain wouldn't switch off for thinking about him. I hadn't seen him in the flesh for quite a while as I rarely get to matches anymore and neither did he tbf but I still bantered with him on here and fb and exchanged pm's (the content of which was generaly to ask me if it was "rag week" because I'm a moody cow)

As everyone else who knew him has said his persona on here was far removed from what he was like in real life, he was a kind man and very protective and loyal towards his friends and especially his family anyone could tell just how much he adored his wife and daughter. If I had to choose just one word to describe Shaky I think it would have to be decent, he was a very decent man and I feel honoured that I knew him.

I hope he is in a better place now and I also hope that he is aware of just how highly people thought of him.

R.I.P Dave you will be missed so very much

Bet he's going to be haunting Andy Lonergans house for a few years yet 😉

But in all seriousness, he was a good poster and whilst I did not know him personally, the forum won't be the same without him. He wasn't old at all was he?

RIP Shaky, you'll always be remembered!
 
Found out this morning about half an hour ago , fucking shame mate , always had my back from the first time we met on here more or less and we defeated the tramp together . Thors drawing of me danny mossy and shaky hanging from the walls was legend , fitting really , he wasnt everyones cup of tea but he was a legend online and this place wont be the same without him . I remember when we tried to get yoga sent to prison for crimes against music .

RIP Dave ill miss you mate and my deepest condolences to your family mate .

Deck......
 
I am just in total shock and disbelief. I didn't know the guy personally and never had a bad word from him though I knew he could be quite poignant at times, particularly when he wrote about a certain goalkeeper. R.I.P. fella, I'll miss your input and condolences to his family.
 
That's a real shame .
He was usually entertaining and didn't take his football or PNE too seriously in these days of obsessiveness . A good wind-up merchant .
RIP .
