Five years on Friday

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

-I never had the honour of meeting such a true gooner, and from the sounds of it a throughly nice chap, but from what everyone had said about him here he seemed like one of those larger then life characters you seldem meet on your journey, but its always a joy when you do.

I sadly never met the man and didn't really know of him until he died :( but everyone seems pretty fond of him. Could someone shed some light on why he was such a legend, aside from being a diehead Gooner? All I really know is that he was always looking out for the fans :barscarf:

RIP all the same.

The warmth of the stories and the general sentiment regarding The Bear probably speaks volumes about what a nice guy he was (to those who were on his side!).

Would love to hear more stories. Has anyone ever compiled a little anthology of stories of their memories of/with Denton? Sounds like it would be a good read.

And my apologies for not saying it earlier, but RIP fellow gooner.

Thanks for posting this.

I never heard of the guy but he sounded larger than life and seemed to earn huge respect from people across a wide spectrum.

RIP.
