Title: Dave the Vicar
Post by: scawsby steve on October 12, 2021, 03:33:41 pm
It is with a heavy heart that I have to tell you all that Dave is very ill. I phoned him today, and his wife, Steph, came to the phone and told me that he's not well at all.

He's in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi everyone I’m now on the downward spiral not but I have not been on to update you all as the last time I did on another post one member said I’m an idiot and I don’t need to do it all the time as most don’t want to know so I haven’t.  I don’t want to know how long I have left but I’m max 18 month

Probably 1986ish was moaning to my son about not being able to get a programme. We were playing Blackpool I think and you said do you want a Blackpool programme? You can have this one and took my 50p or whatever it was. Later when I looked at the programme it was the previous season's.
It made me laugh that somebody even had it at the game.

Don't listen to the tw*ts mate. I might not agree with everything you say on the forum but I wouldn't wish anything bad to come to you. Really sorry to hear you're not doing great but keep fighting! You're a key part of this forum and we all wish you well.

Fight on Vicar. The medical profession don’t always get it right. I agree with Spilsby - post what you like, when you like. All Rovers fans are well and truly with you.

Stay strong Dave, opinions of ‘experts’ are there to be beaten.

Three years ago my wife was given 1 to 3 years and although exhausted she is still inspirationally fighting strong. We even managed to enjoy our youngest daughter’s wedding earlier this month after two postponements.

All the best and I trust you have good support around you - you certainly have a whole host rooting for you on here.

All the very best my friend.

A horrible, horrible fight Dave. Hope, fear,
 more hope, renewed fear. A  ceaseless, wearying struggle endowed with pain, sickness, loss of memory, loss of immunity, loss of freedom. I am watching my sister die now. I hope you do a whole lot better mate.

Keep in there Dave. And I know I speak on behalf of all the past and present members of the now defunct Dearne Valley/Conisbro branch who you occasionally travelled with when I was secretary.  I have just come out of 2.5 weeks in hospital with covid/pneumonia but that must be nothing compared to what you are facing. Keep in there DAve, a genuine old mate.

Dave,

like the rest of us I am very sorry to hear the bad news.

BUT, just don't give in. My wife was given 3 to 4 years of life expectancy with cancer and we are 12 years on now and grateful for the extension of time.

I think the last game she attended was the Plymouth game when COPPS got sent off, COPPS of all people!!!

Just don't give in they don't always get it right, a positive attitude is essential, I don't think I need to tell you that.

I wouldn't pretend to even try to understand how you must be feeling Dave or try to tell you how to live your life. Other than to say, live everyday, cherish every moment and fight this horrible illness all the way.................
