Yesterday JK mentioned Shaky’s saying of “shit fan” in the weather warning thread, I commented not to forget “well done Derek” and how much he is missed.

JK amongst others will confirm that some us who went to Shaky’s funeral were given badges relevant to various sayings that connected us to him. Mine was “well done Derek”. Now various people will also confirm I kept that badge on my scarf and it went to every game with me home or away. I took it to Wembley for the play off final, but leaving the stadium I lost it. I was gutted because I had had it so long.

As as I said, I commented on the thread last night and, when I went into Deepdale this afternoon I stood thinking I will get a hot drink then rather than half time, as I stood there I looked down and, there at my feet was a badge that said “Shaky says Well done Derek”. I picked it up and I was totally gobsmacked. I don’t know if someone else dropped it but, I have kept it.

on my family’s life this is true. How flippin strange though!

Sorry you lost the original - yet it’s quite fitting that it was lost at that place , at that time. I hope it’s still there somewhere nestling quietly under a bush for eternity.

I made up those badges and think there was also about four of each. So could only belong to a few people.

Trying to remember what the others said... one was related to lonners triple salvo, one shit fan and the good old well done Derek.

I saw someone the other day say Well Done Trevor... maybe it’s time for some new ones.

Never had the pleasure of meeting him but Joan told me a lot about him and what character he was. I am sure he's sorely missed.

Joan, finding that badge is karma at its finest.

I lost my cousin at 3 1/2 to cancer and stuff has happened over the years that sounds like what Joan has experienced. I miss her so much, (she died in 1965). Makes you wonder.....

I fully get the gist of what you've said, Joan.... and just because it's such an amazing story I'd just like to get it straight what happened. Were you stood on the concourse, pre-match when you saw it on the floor? And I think you're saying that the wording was very similar to yours, but had the extra words 'shaky says' on it.?

Whatever, if this is a case of someone else randomly losing a badge today - so many years later - and you finding it - and this being the day after you'd had the unusual shit-fan WDD discussion on here - it sounds like a million to one shot!

I realise that lots of million-to-one shots happen every day... but sometimes you do have to wonder.

I was on the concourse of the TE and all the badges JK made started with Shaky says..... My original badge was Well done Derek and it’s just strange that I had wrote on the weather warning thread the same words. It’s made my day I know that and that badge will be coming to every game with me again.

Keep looking Joan next time you might find a badge saying 'I'm sorry Joan' left by a well known poster on here 😀😀😉

What a lovely story, Joan - sometimes the fates move in mysterious ways! Whatever the reason - sheer coincidence or something else, it made you happy and that's what's important.

Let's hope that the badge continues to bring you and the team good fortune.
