    Today is the first anniversary of Paul's departure, and it's probably appropriate to mention him :emoticon-0148-yes:

    He was one of the good-uns, and he'd be as pleased as we are about our current change in fortunes . . . . all the best, marra <hug>

    The big C took him, and we'll remember him <peacedove>

    Didn’t know him but he’s still a miss here. Incredible that it’s a year . Hope you’re looking down and enjoying the current upturn on the pitch . !

    Spoke to BH a couple of times via this forum as we found out that we only lived 10 miles apart, always seems such a nice man. Shame I never got to meet up with him.

    His post calling for new posters was what made me start posting on here. So I'll always be grateful to him for that.

    Does anyone know if he got a shoutout at the Blackpool game I think it was? I think his wife was going to try and arrange it.
