Such sad news.
Condolences to Angela and family. Let's hope the Rovers family can bring some support in some small way.
Although I knew Dave for over ten years, we never really spoke that much. Probably both very busy with our match day duties before a game and generally both quite quiet people I would guess.
If we met after a game, we probably shrugged our shoulders or rolled our eyes after a defeat, but exclaimed "What a goal" or "what a game" with a laugh or smile and a spring in our step after a victory.
After THE 7-0 we must have looked a sight as walked towards eachother, with our wide eyed joy of children at Christmas, combined with ear to ear Cheshire cat type grins.
I think my profound summary of the game was a shake of my head saying "Wow, can't believe it" whereas Dave said "Naah, always had a feeling we would do it!"
Glad to have fleetingly shared one of those truly magical moments of joy that following BRFC can bring.
RIP Dave
