RIP Shaky

I also remember a photo of him with his hands round Yoga's neck, throttling him. Shakes still had a smile on his face though.
God bless.
 
Again , didnt know you other than here , but deeply saddened by this news

Hope the family and close friends can find support through the difficult times to follow

My sincere condolences to family and friends. I never met Shaky personally - but I know we were at the same games sometimes - both having supported PNE over many years. My thoughts and prayers are with you. RIP.
 
Shaky would have been on here all night tonight, slagging Lonergan off for conceding to Arsenal when "Any other Goalkeeper would have saved that!"

Can't believe I'm never going to be able to read his posts again. The most entertaining poster on the forum.

RIP
 
R.I.P. Shaky. He was a major contributor to this forum, and he will be deeply missed by us all.

As a sort of tribute to Shaky, I am watching the Arsenal-Leeds tonite with a special emphasis on Lonergan's performance. (Lonergan is starting the game.) Let's see if there'll be any triple salco saves!!! I'll be also enjoying a glass of single malt - for Shaky's memory.


My sincere condolences to Dave's family and friends.

We are the North End and Shaky will always be one of us.

PNE fan, Helsinki, Finland


PS. I did not know Shaky personally, but I did see him once in the Moor Park pub. I was there buying coach tickets for an away game, I reckon it was a trip arranged by PSG. There were many active pne-onliners having pre-match pints there. Shaky (in the company of Katie and many others, which I just cannot remember anymore) was one of them, and in a very nice manner, he just wanted to introduce himself, and say hello to me, a freak visitor from Finland!

Shaky put this video on here or facebook, sorry can't remember which. It's of a get together, in Yates', after Goss closed down. My brother worked at Goss for a long time and sometimes I would talk to Dave about it...I don't know how to freeze the video to take a photo off but there are a few of him on there enjoying a pint or two. God Bless xx

Give me the time of the pictures you' want off and I'll do it.
 
Don't know about anyone else but I'm finding it difficult to really care about getting a new manager when a fellow PNE fan has lost their life, and a family of PNE fans have lost a loved one. I know it's a cliche but it really does put football into perspective and makes me realise the truly important things in life, and football is not one of them

I think that was in a different pub: the Deepdale, am sure I have a photo somewhere Aki. Think it's on my old phone.

Still remember our meet in York with PNEYSC lot. Horse.

Oh yes, you are right mate. It was the Deepdale pub indeed where Shaky took his mouth off his pre-match pint and said hello to me! Actually that was the only time I've been to that pub, whereas at the Moor Park pub I've been several times for a post-match pint.

That York meet-up was during the same England trip, by the way, in the change of November-December in 2006.
 
I`m in total shock! 🙁
Only met the fella once in the Moor Park,december 2000 at a christmas messageboard meet of this boards predecessor. I said I would go along as I was a board member and was threatened with "having your tangerine face pasted round the pub walls if you show" by one pleasant individual! It didn`t put me off though and I rolled up on my Vespa T5,as I said I would.Shaky saw me walk in with a helmet,put 2+2 together and came over.He bought me a pint of Guinness and as more Nobbers joined us we had a good natter and a laugh for a couple of hours. It was hard being a `pool fan then....second bottom of the football league,been beaten 7-0 at Barnet and just knocked out of the Cup at home on live tv by then non-league Yeovil! I took some fearful stick that afternoon up until around 2.30pm when the pub started to empty for your home game against Grimsby.A few lads(who probably now use this board)even offered to pay me on the game...I politely declined!
I`ve never forgotten that afternoon though and how our two clubs fortunes have changed since then.
RIP Shaky I still owe you that pint...

A fine tribute to a man whose character was obviously a long way from his board persona. RIP.
