Bolsterstone Owl Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 RIP Big Al. Myself and Jeff Capper held you in awe on our early to mid 80s away days. Stopped going away now really. The beer flinging coke heads fighting amongst themselves have not got a clue where WAWAW really came from. Cheers Al. A true Wednesday legend. I sincerely hope there is something fitting on Saturday for those not at Blackburn. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so I'm sure that mask ended up at my nans house and her and my uncle Paul used to scare the poo out of us with it as kids. Had some good away days with big Al when he was at the Burgoyne. Weeny was with, but not the LL of the Burgoyne of the best ever away day. Trev (RIP) was the LL then the fixture a very important promo match at Blackburn. Half of Walkley went, The Pickerings male and female were out in force Margaret, John, Clive, Tommy & David. Armo (Steve Almond) Wheaty (Steve Wheatcroft) Brian Wragg was driving. Bro Roy stayed behind he was 95% beer and 5% girls. Hawkeye (Paul Hawksworth) and a few more. I smashed my new specs in the mele as they were danced on as Wednesday got the last goal in a 2-1 win. Trevor got two rounds in for the whole coachload of us, What a gent. We stayed until we drank the pub dry. Back to the Burgoyne where once again the first round was on Trev. Wednesday or Thursday was a natural knock day as we tackled a mountain of Bacon sarnies. It was gone 7 a.m. as we drifted off to our beds. I got it in the neck for not informing Diane I was going to be late..... All in all one of the away days I'll never forget right up there with Cardiff, Villa Park (Palace) and Elland Rd late 60's cup replay. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls about that Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Lets hope the Wednesday family give big Al the send off he deserves against Rotherham, on the 59th minute with a rousing applause and we love you Weenie. UTO RIP WEENIE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaiowl Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Knew Weenie from the1980s when living in London. Met him by chance in Helsinki during the Owls' pre-season tour in 1986. I had nowhere to stay and Weeny sneaked me in to his digs and I had the dubious honour of sleeping under him in a bunk bed! So many stories...wandering into the Bolton end in 1983 (the week before the semi final against Brighton) because the game was so boring. Absolute top man. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
