who are ya - mark 2

[toonlegend]

Anyone who has been here a while will remember Whitepointer and Nufcnutter as 2 of the most popular board members and moderators we have ever known..Sadly neither whitepointer nor Nutter are still here, both taken well before their time should have been up. Nutter first, on 9th June 2007 at the age of 32, and Whitepointer on 19th August 2014 at the age of 42.

Before NUFC Nutter became ill, he started the original “who are ya” thread that was so popular it amassed well over 400 posts. Unfortunately ,somewhere in the transition between forum hosts, the original disappeared.
We have decided in their honour, and as a way to remember them both, to start this new thread with them being the 1st entries by proxy.


Please add your own details , give as much or as little info as you like. feel free to add anything else that you think is interesting
