Thread: "Old Bob" makes his final pass.

  1. #1

    "Old Bob" makes his final pass.

    Because we are like family on here I have often mentioned my father-in-law who was a lifelong BWFC fan.

    I say "was" because he died last night, we were with him at the end and he passed away peacefully in his sleep.

    We have decided to send him on his way in his club blazer and scarf. He would have wanted nothing less.

    BWFC lost a great friend and supporter last night. R.I.P. Bob.

    Thanks guys, I liked Bob the first time I met him because he really was "Football Mad".

    His taste in his preferred football team of choice left a bit to be desired though.

    Condolences to you and your wife BT. It's a shame Bob's last memory of the team is in League 1, they should be higher.
