Sultan_Pepper Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Sad news. That last picture on there is shocking. Still think he could have stayed on his feet but he was a better ref than most of the dross we get these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP fella. http://www.kentonline.co.uk/maidstone/news/ex-ref-dies-after-battle-with-cancer-159296/ I’ve recently lost a mate of circa 50 years standing with cancer, looking at the before and after photos of Mr Alcock he and my mate suffered a similar fate, he weighed 16 stones in August and 10 stones at Christmas, I detest this bloody disease, it’s so unfair.

Paul.. Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Looked 84 in that last pic, not 64, poor fella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hougoumont Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 A fitting end would probably be to balance the coffin on the edge of the grave and invite PdC to give it a nudge. Seriously, cancer is a conker of a disease and my sympathies for all sufferers RIP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Owl Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Poor devil. Very sad looking at those pictures. No one should have to suffer like that. RIP Paul Alcock. Let's hope that one day soon we find a cure for this horrific disease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onefurlongout Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Its two years to the day since I had a reoccurrence in my lungs and almost five years since my original bowel cancer diagnosis. Didn't think I'd be saying that at 40 years old News like this always strikes a chord. RIP Paul Alcock 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mkowl Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I used to do a job in Maidstone next door to the shopping centre he was the manager of - would park in there Always thought if I saw him I would announce myself as a Wednesday fan and see if he got nervous near the escalator However wouldn't have wished that demise on anyone and he will always be part of Wednesday folklore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owl in Nottingham Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Useless Ref unballanced by an idiot player, the whole thing made worse by the incompetence of Dave R and Danny W. But even with the years of misery that ensued I could not wish cancer on anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewookieisdown Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Arguably the moment that led to the ruin of our club. Had it not been so badly mishandled it seems unlikely relegation would have happened as it did. Not Mr Alcock's fault, of course. Sad news. RIP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sums it up for me, the guy was well behind the pace of play that day and looked so knackered a flee pushing him would have made him fall. That said, RIP fella...
