I just spent 10 minutes typing out a reply to a new topic about people we don't see at games anymore only to find I couldn't post it due to the original topic being removed.
Anyway it got me thinking about a few ex stalwarts who seemed to suddenly dissapear from the face of the planet. A lot of you will know them because they were all characters in their own right.
Scooby. Well known by a lot of home and away fans. Fell out with Jim Harveys management that grim day at Leigh RMI when nothing went right and we lost 3-1. He vowed never to return whilst Jim was still manager but trouble is I don't think he ever returned when Jim moved on.
His mate Dave (the butcher) Whalley. Last time I talked to him he was on about emigrating to Canada, but it was on off for quite a while and I never saw him again.
Another mate of theirs was Tony who worked at Queens Park Secure Psychatric unit at Blackburn. I used to think Tony eventually became nuttier than most of the patients and towards the end I could never understand what the hell he was on about. In the unlikely event you're reading this Tony apologies mate but thats just the way it was.
All of them went missing round about the same time and with not living locally I've lost track as to whether they are still about? Anyone know what became of them and are there any other ex notables who we don't see at games any more. No doubt everyone who's been attending for a few years can think of someone.
