Shaky insisted he was from Ulverston, Lancashire rather than Ulverston, Cumbria - I therefore doctored a photo of him I'd taken at Cardiff 2005 playoff final. Splinter cell leader of the North Lancs Jihad!
Ahh, I get the e-quine now. I used to take the piss relentlessly calling him a Cumbrian 😉

I'll be taking a Belgian Breakfast!
Blimey where do you start with shaky. He was soooooo very very funny. Going to an away match knowing he was going on your coach was the best. From the air vents on the coach not working and him saying "see shit fans" to his song at Southampton with Katie (can't remember the first line but the last one) "well done Derek". Shaky won't know the memories and hapiness he left me, and a lot of others with and for that, I truely thank him. He was a gentleman a comedian and a lovely, lovely man. PNEFC will never be the same without him, certainly not as much fun. RIP Shaky, and sincerely condolences to his family.
Thanks Sharon for posting on my behalf last night.

It started in that pub pre game. We were sat there and the march came trough when they were protesting about their chairman and board. Shaky said "Christ I can imagine the usual suspects liking Derek's arse and telling us to e thankful we have him not someone else... Well fucking done Derek.... Wish d brought a banner saying that..." and that was it every time someone said anything it was WDD!
And then on the game the "We're the one and only North End" chant started. First off we finished it with We are Shit Fans instead of we hate Blackpool and then it turned into WDD.
I'm crying again now!

Oh yes!!!
The very first time met shaky I was with Al and Leawhite. We were on the train to an away game Sheff Wed I think and we were having a few Stellas on the way (like you do) when the conductor came over to check our tickets.
As Al, Myself and Lee looked so youthful we had purchased kids train tickets. The inspector then enquired "You are going to have to pay the difference lads as you are drinking alcohol"!
Shaky then informed the inspector that "They are paying fuck all difference, they are simply under age drinking, so to charge them adult fares would be unacceptable"!
From that day forward I knew he was a bloke to have on your side.
Will miss you fella.
Great suggestion Phil.
Does anyone know if the club will allow ST holders to swap from Town End to the Kop as a one-off ???

he was a right cunt with me for a while then one day he realized just that and next minute we are best mates. He would wind you up for fun but he was the only person who stepped forward when we did that political piece on Preston Market a few years ago. No matter what you think of him this is awful news and i just can't imagine pne-online without him

Like everyone else, I am shocked and saddened to hear of Shakys death. Although I never met him and my only communications were via this forum, I am in no doubt he was one of those rare men who lived their lives to the full and that everyone involved in this forum in any way, is richer for the time he spent here.
We only occasionally saw eye to eye, but you were top class entertainment at all times. Rest in peace Shaky. Heaven has been waiting for a Patron Saint of goalkeepers and at last they've got one.
