Deadpool 2024

I know he'd been unwell for some time but the finality of it still hits.

I recall Stan playing for Carlisle against us in the FAC in the early '70s and he and Bob Hatton scored their goals to put us out. I don't recall specifics much more than that but I was lucky to see him in that great QPR side of the mid-seventies several times and his play with Gerry Francis was a delight to watch. I've been reminded of him several times more recently when he's popped up on 'The Big Match Revisited'. A great natural talent who didn't seem at all phased by the occasion. Quite a nice moment in this doc. when he talks about feeling safe on the pitch as he couldn't be harassed by his creditors there.

I am not sure that he played for Carlise against us 'might be wrong' but am sure he played for Crewe against us and of cause for QPR .

Ah - seems like I've confabulated as that FA Cup game was in January '71 and he didn't sign for Carlisle until the following October.

A question from me on this thread
I’d like someone to put to bed
It’s come to the fore
There’s no twenty four
I’m waiting enter my dead
 
Loved the Hairy Bikers, lovely, gentle, genuine friendship. RIP Dave.

We did suggest at work, that Si might like to join up with Clarissa Dickson Wright and become the Hairy Fat Ladies!
