sage owl Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 As others have said a great lad to be in the company of. Like one or two others really looked after us youngsters ( I'm 55 ) back in the late 70's early eighties. RIP big Alan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OWL1969 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) Only met him a few times, went to Swansea with him in Cup last season, barely knew me but he joked and chatted away with me, like longtime friends, offered his snap all around bus.

owls-swfc Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 It would be good if someone at the club could receive any pictures of Alan (taken throughout the years and submitted by everyone who new him) for a half time preview on main screen and all concourse TVs. Such is his status as a true Owl... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanzaroteowl Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Of all the people that get shown respect at the game Wheenie should be number one. RIP Beast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Lestrade Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 They don't much bigger than Weeny, saw in action a few times in the eighties. Was always good to see him at the games and he was always up for a chat a very friendly bloke and the Wednesday family has lost a true legend.
