Wayno/ Mutley Gooner

Sad news. Thoughts with all friends and family.

[Cockerill's chin]

So sorry to hear this. Thoughts and prayers with his family and friends. Really enjoyed his humour. Very sad news

His avatar will be ingrained on my mind forever! You could never again unsee that.

Very sad news, condolences to family and friends.

RIP

Yeah I agree Rodders and I never quite knew whether the shagging/vomiting dog was real or not!
Like most on here never knew him personally but you could tell what a top man he was by the quality of his posts.
Condolences to his family and friends.

Fuck me. Only just seen this. Wayno/Mutley and Gus were a mods nightmare. In fact they often used to wait until they thought we had all gone to bed to post some of the most outrageous stuff. But they were really fun times and I can honestly say that Wayno made me laugh out loud (not lol) but really laugh out loud more than anyone on this forum. TBH I have a tear in my eye typing this. RIP mate.

I will support anything people want to do to honour him. Oldgit would something to help his family be appropriate?

We could sponsor Crufts Dog Show and have the Mutley Gooner best in breed trophy.

He'd have loved that.

I would agree with this - let us know if we decide to do something

[olgitgooner]

Kind of people to offer donations. Not sure what to do. So I've messaged Steve asking for his thoughts. He knew Wayne better than any of us and also knows the family.

[olgitgooner]

I've now heard back from Steve. On monday he applied to rejoin the forum so he could say a few words. He also sent a separate email explaining the situation. He never even got a response. Which is a bit disappointing, given the sad circumstances.

So I will volunteer to organise a collection. I'll go to the bank tomorrow and open a temporary account for people to send donations to. I'll post the details asap.

We need suggestions as to how the money could be spent. I'm thinking maybe a memorial tablet at the Grove? Any left over money to go to the family or a charity of their choice? If we are all happy with this then there would be the choice of wording on the memorial to be decided. Wayno would probably like it if there were swearwords involved but I don't think we could get away with that. Unless it was in cryptic form. A la "CU next tuesday" . All suggestions gratefully received. Especially any deviously clever and funny ones as befiitting Wayno's brilliant sense of humour. Post here or pm me.

Good to know that Wayno/Mutley is remembered so fondly by you all.

Any reason why ?? Was gus thrown off the forum back in the day ? I miss the banter and craic steve brought to the forum and I would love to see him back on here full time, but leaving that aside he should still be allowed on for this situation

[olgitgooner]

Don't know Augie. Need to ask the powers that be

[Chippy]

Christ you guys must remember the run ins. There was one notorious night when the 2 of them basically tried to post the most provocative stuff going and they got banned. They were allowed back on and then got bollocked for something else so asked to have their original accounts deleted. After a while they came back as Percy and Mutley until another spat with Percy and a mod led to Percy again asking for his account to be deleted. At this stage Mike decided he had had enough and banned Percy altogether. Mutley's account is still open I believe.

BTW this is a very abridged version of what happened and my memory is not as good as it used to be before age and alcohol took their toll, but the broad narrative is right. Others may want to fill in some details.

Notwithstanding the above the forum was a much funnier place when those 2 were on form.
