RIP Shaky

RIP Shaky

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.

Just nearly choked on my stella reading this-that is quality!
 
I bet there are very few people, if any, who saw a thread/post by Shaky, and decided not to read it!

I'd sum him up in 3 words. Forthright, rustic, and amusing!

Almost 550 comments left, and this thread viewed 34,000 times, so far, is testament to his popularity.

Very very sad news, seemed to agree with him on most occasions to be fair! He used to make me piss my sides with his run ins with yoga on here! Will be sadly missed, RIP fella
 
Only found out this morning and am still reeling. Gonna miss you Shaky, both on here, putting them right and also up in West Cumbria when the trails are on. Watching PNE in the Globe when they are miles away and failing on the box as normal just won't be the same without your calm and collected view on proceedings!
All our thoughts are with the family at this time. God bless.
RIP marra.
 
Read quite a bit about making all sorts of tributes to Shaky,and wondered if it would be beyond the realms of possibility to hold some sort of collection towards,say his funeral or something,as as I remember through personal experience they don't come cheap.

I know I'd throw in a few quid-only been here 12-18 months and he certainly left a mark on me with his witty remarks!
 
Can we have a whip round and get it on the big screen at Deepdale?

20 quid I think they want

above the kop -showing he is there in spirit

Hello all, I have already spoken to PNE about having a message on the Big Screen, it will be done free of charge.
 
Didn't know him personally but was a good laugh on here. Will be sadly missed by a lot of people and that just shows how liked he was and what a top laugh he was!

Condolences with all family and friends!
 
Well done JK - any news regarding a minutes silence or a similar gesture?

We have spoken to Shaky's family who feel that a big screen message and PA Announcement would be appropriate and feel this is a fitting tribute.

Personally speaking we have also been discussing this years Gentry Day which we hope to also announce soon.

does that mean also a minute's silence/applause, sorry for appearing a bit dateless but head is still in a shed - still can't believe it x
