Bally, your last post moved me to tears, a time of such personal feelings and emotions. I didn't know New Yankee but he put into words a lot of what I feel about the Rovers and I followed his honest, open and inspiring posts about his health, what a fighter. It's a shame some of his family didn't appreciate him despite the deaths of the other children being total accidents. Maybe some guilt going on from the ex wife, but I digress. Hopefully his wife can take comfort and support from the Rovers Family, also sympathy to you Bally it is obvious you are heartbroken by this. Sympathy and condolences to the family who loved and appreciated what appeared to me a lovely man.As an aside, does anyone know how Hoola is? I know him and New Yankee shared their fights with each other as well as us all.Sorry for the long essay,but this thread has touched me massively.
Really sorry that Derek has passed away. I didn't know him only from on here, let out bits and bobs what he had done during his life serving rugby teams and football.Wouldn't it be good if we could create a small section on this page, to the people who have passed away and their monicker that they used on here?.I don't know if others are the same but i wonder where odd one's have gone, who used to post.
Maybe we could have a sticky at the top with access to photos of former VSC members and posters that have passed away. It would be good to put faces and names together. We could maybe include people like Ken Avis, Ken Wilkinson, Ray Gilbert and J. C. Morris,people that did so much work for our club.It's just a suggestion and might not be practical but it would be a way of showing the continuity and longevity of our club.

Looked like he was really NOT enjoying being pushed around in his wheelchair and shopping, still has a wee smile. God Bless him

CHAMPIONS, CHAMPIONS, CHAMPIONS.Terry" The Derek Blackham " promotion season now that would be a fitting memoriam for someone that loved our club so much.It would have been so easy for a man that emigrated to forget what we sometimes call a tinpot club, instead he was there kicking every ball for us .
