Oh man! RIP Dave. A man who lived life to the full - a true inspiration. So many hilarious stories from his travels. Never let the Lards down. I remember him jumping off his bike and straight on the pitch in 'dam ;-) Nigel On Mon, 9 Jan 2023 at 19:10, John Boocock wrote: > Dear all, > >

Very sad to hear this. A name I know well from the list. Not sure that I ever met him - I did once go to watch the Lards at Hinckley Town and chatted with a few listers, though never actually managed to get names (I seem to remember chatting to the Princesses of Tonga for a while). RIP mate, if

Sad to hear this. I met Dave many years ago at World Net. I can't remember if I knew about his toe in advance or if I learnt about it there but I do remember wondering how it would affect him walking considering the amount of work your big toe actually does.Dave was delighted to show me his

The LeedsList has lost a great stalwart in Dave Dowden. Made an absolute legend of himself at Worldnet when my brother Jim and I attended way back in... was it 1999 ... in Adel? Apart from his antics, he also formed part of the backbone of this list, which still goes strong to this day.

That's exactly what I was (less well done as yourself) trying to say with my post Ian. Essentially we may not know each other but we do know each other, albeit virtually. It is therefore still just as sad and upsetting if one of that group passes away., as it is in real life. RIP Dave from all

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
