Re: Wayno/ Mutley Gooner

TBH I think if we do go with a stone at the stadium we should just keep it brief and respectable as it may be something Wayno's wife and kids (and his mom and/or dad maybe too?) like to visit - and crude or double-meaning remarks might cheapen it for them or embarrass them. I know Wayno would have ...

Re: Wayno/ Mutley Gooner

Sad news - whilst Wayno's posts were not exactly my favourites :wink: it is always sad to hear when a fellow Gooner has passed away leaving a family with young kids behind, and a lot of friends which I know he had on this forum.

RIP.

Re: Skydive - Paul Smith OBE (fundraising thread)

Just a note from Paul, he is having trouble logging in to the forum due to a new email address and password issue which is he is working on resolving. He wanted me to thank you all for your support and donations - it really means a lot to him! :barscarf:

Paul Smith OBE

I am really pleased to let you all know that Paul Smith has been awarded a OBE in the New Years Honours list! As you probably know, Paul is a Gooner who over the years has raised over £2million for charity despite his own disabilities, and some of you have generously sponsored him along the way as I...

Re: RIP Ernie Crouch

Yes Arsenal made an announcement on twitter and I imagine are working with his family to find a fitting tribute.

Piebury Corner have also name a pie after Ernie and are donating the proceeds to The Pilion Trust homeless shelter for young people in Islington on The Cally Rd. :barscarf:

Re: RIP Ernie Crouch

Thank you for doing this Basil. I've never seen so many people crying and distraught. He was loved by so many people and yet was very humble. When he won The Europacar fan of the season. Shorty after he came into the supporters club and we all stood up and clapped him and cheered and he wasn't happ...

RIP Ernie Crouch

Such sad news tonight that Ernie Crouch who was the 90 year old fan who has followed the Arsenal and Arsenal Ladies home and away for many many years has passed away today in a freak accident on his way to the game. You may remember Chunky asking if we would vote for Ernie in the Europcar Fan of the...
