I am shocked and deeply saddened to hear of the loss to the list, Leeds United and, most importantly, his family, Dave Dowden. I did not know Dave personally and to my mind we never met, knowingly. I suspect we may well have met on one or other Lards outings at the Worldnet tournament latterly held in Adel.
My deepest sympathies I extend to his family and hope they might find a little comfort in the fact that his real and virtual friends will likewise miss him and honour his memory. RIP Dave. The list remembers you.
