RIP Shaky

RIP Shaky

Myself and Shaky rarely saw eye to eye, both being argumentative twats, but I can see that so many love him on here he must have been a decent bloke in real life. I'm off up his neck of the woods in a couple of months - if someone would oblige i'd love them to tell me where he's laid to rest so I can pay my respects.

Truth be told, I always suspected he wasn't the same online as offline - I would have liked to go for a drink with him last time I was in the Lakes.

Thanks.

His ashes will be scattered in the back of the goals in front of the Kop...

...where Teffers spent so much time retrieving the ball.
 
For anyone who hasn't seen this, in the memory of David 'Shaky' Howson, a Just Giving page has been set up to raise cash for RETHINK a charity that can help make a difference to people with depression or suffering from a mental illness.

Now we haven't set a target...but wouldn't it be great to raise £1000?

Thanks once again to all contributions thus far, tremendous effort.
 
We have been asked to wear a shirt so that's what I wi be doing, uncomfortable or not. I'd request that those up is who felt close enough to him to form part of a guard of honour do the same please.

I'll be going in my PNE shirt and I'll most likely wear jeans too.

At the end of a day wearing black at a funeral is mourning... I want to celebrate the old mofwog's life

I want to wear my suit as is the norm but a footy shirt simply does not compute with a suit.

However, I don't wish to wear jeans to accomodate a footy shirt cos I'd feel disrepectful.

Hence, I am caught in a quandry here.

Help!

I still feel uncomfortable with this. I'd feel like, trampish. Thats not a dig at you, more about the suit/footy shirt combo.

I think I'll risk the wrath of Shaky's wife and wear the suit, she likes me so Shaky always said 😀 so I'll take my chance!

Disrespectful to who? Respect his widow's wishes and wear your shirt with pride. I'm even considering rooting out the old royal blue shirt with the fluorescent Baxi, as the MOF loved his.

If that means wearing jeans, so be it. I'll be wearing jeans too, you won't be the only one.

I know you're a good Catholic boy Wooley, but God will turn a blind eye just this once...

Then jeans and footy shirt it is then!

Cheers Des. It was a difficult decision. I didn't want to upset anyone.
 
If Jeans and footy shirts are the order of the day, I too shall wear Jeans.

Well put Des.

I'll be in jeans too. Don't get why it's disrespectful at all?! She has asked us to!!

Ive already said any fucker turns up at my funeral in black I'll send a bolt of lightning and fry em.

I hate it. Half of it feels so self indulgent. Look a us, ain't we sad all in black.

Well yeah, I am sad. And I know I wi be in floods tomorrow as funerals always bring back memories of not just who we are saying goodbye to, but all those people I have lost in my past.

I will respect her wishes, wear my shirt with pride and form part of the guard with pride too.
