GamblingbladeThis was the last time I saw Dar - coming out of the TC suite and he called out to me. I was genuinely shocked at his condition. The illness (which I wasn't aware of) had left him very frail and weak and I was fighting my emotions whilst speaking with him. However, despite being seriously ill and in pain, he was there at BDTBL supporting his beloved team. Beneath the illness and his frail body, the humour, the personality and spirit of Matt were bursting out and we chatted for 10 minutes about his illness and remembering some of the times we enjoyed beers together
So sad that this cruel, shitty disease has taken another good un. Dar was a huge personality and will be remembered by all those who had the good fortune to know him and spend some time in his company.
Sorry for your loss mate. He was very active on this forum, one of the most notable names (even if I didn't agree with some opinions!) and obviously a big Blade.I’d like to thank every single Blade on here for your kind words and stories.
I was aware that my brother was a member on here but was unaware at how many people he interacted with.
I was with him at his final United game vs West Brom, happy that he got to see us promoted back to the Premier League.
I haven’t been since myself but I will be in attendance at the Bournemouth match.
A minutes applause on the 37th minute would an amazing tribute to him if we could get the word round

Hopefully word of this will get round.... special fella and one i've interacted with on here only (got a post covid corona club invite, but unfortunately it never materialised due to his condition).I’d like to thank every single Blade on here for your kind words and stories.

Perhaps with the permission of his family , get in touch with Gary Sinclair for him to make an announcement pre match of half time. Don't know if this is allowed or possible.
I have to do this too. My mates call you all my "forum geeks"!I fibbed and said someone I know from years ago as I don't think my friends would understand the forum and the feeling of community on here
Almost everyone I'd guess, you couldn't shut him up.I was aware that my brother was a member on here but was unaware at how many people he interacted with.
On a more serious note, although I never knew your brother, he reached out to me when I posted about my daughter's cancer diagnosis earlier this year. His offer of support, to her or me, was unconditional and generous and so it's me who should be giving the thanks.I’d like to thank every single Blade on here for your kind words and stories.
I'll be there and joining in. It's the least I feel I could do. My family are planning some fundraising for Western Park and I'll be thinking about your brother whilst I'm jogging around some Northern city in a shit coloured running vest in 2024.A minutes applause on the 37th minute would an amazing tribute to him if we could get the word round
