Anyone out there who knew Dave Blackwood, ST Holder for over 50 years, should know he lost his battle with cancer last week. He was my brother-in-law. Dating my elder sis in the 60's he would come for tea after the home game on a Saturday. I would get hit on the head with the Football Pink and the game would be summed up in one of three ways. "We were garbage", "we did everything but score" or "we were all over them like a rash...it should have been ten".
I doubt if Scumbag control will allow his ashes behind the goal at the Stretford End so he can curse the b**tards from the grave.
He saw the Blue Moon rise again and went out whilst we were champions. RIP Dave.
