Gary Johnsons left nut Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Just think we should all give a minutes thought to Ernie Cooksey who died today after a battle with Cancer. I am sure all the Oldham fans are gutted, My thoughts go out to his family and friends. Rest in Peace Ernie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seend Red Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Must be honest and say I'd never heard of him but just googled him to discover he was only 28 years old :noexpression: Makes you think! I also witnessed a fatal collision on the A420 a couple of weeks ago where a lad of 18 died. Definitely makes you appreciate what you've got. Just to rub salt into the already gapeing wound I've just read his partner is heavily pregnant with their first child. Life can be so cruel.

I guess we must be thankfull for everything and live every day! Sometimes things like this put football into real contexts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest shane Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 When I was a manger Ernie Cooksey played against us a few times for Crawley. Very sad, only 28. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambodinho Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Crikey. I'm pretty sure he scored against us 2 seasons ago at the Gate for Oldham. Short, bald left footed fellow. I think it might have even been a header if my memory serves me right. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the Faith Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 Crikey. I'm pretty sure he scored against us 2 seasons ago at the Gate for Oldham. Short, bald left footed fellow. I think it might have even been a header if my memory serves me right. RIP He did indeed score against us and looked a useful player that day. All the best to his family and friends.
