Thank you, Dave for your wisdom and guidance, especially on the end of a rope. I'll always be grateful to have shared the Dalesway with you.

When they built you, brother, they broke the mould. Go well, George. Hope there's plenty of Rory Gallagher and Joe Cocker on vinyl up there!

A dear friend who always had a friendly word and a merry quip. The hours we sat watching Hunslet at Parkside with Gary when we were young.
Then a few years later propping the bar up in various pubs in Leeds.
Sadly missed I’ll see you old pal
