Dear all,
Quite a few of you will know that lister and member of the Leeds Lards worldnet
team, Dave 'Lido' Dowden has been ill with cancer this past two years. His
illness finally got the better of him late on Sunday night. He was at home with
his family having turned what was a six month
Thank you, John, for the tasteful delivery of sad news.
RIP Dave and my condolences to family and friends around the world.
Cheers,

A sad loss - i have mates who still think
Thanks John,
A huge loss…any man that can negotiate years of parking at ER at the cost of a
pork pie a time, is a genius…twisted perhaps, but a genius nonetheless.

Beautifully done John
A sad loss - i have mates who still think South Leeds runs on a pork pie
based economy
David's Lards performances will remain legendary - even when he prepared
for them by cycling there - from another country

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
Such sad news John. Knowing Dave’s diagnosis since you told me, seeing him
zipping around on his bike, camping, climbing hills and generally ‘cracking on’
was genuinely inspirational.
A lovely bloke and always ready with a tale - commiserations to all of you who
knew him much better than me,
