BCAGFC Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Just wondered if there was any more news on this as it went very quiet. Is he still hanging in there? Mark's still hanging in there but by all accounts, the cancer has spread to another part of his body now. He'll fight it all the way though, it's in his nature.

Sir Colby-Tit Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 I thought of Divvy last night and how the team has turned things around since his motivational talk. He should be awarded manager of the month. We really need a nice loud chorus of "There's only one Divvy Saunders" from the whole ground before the season is out. Inspirational stuff.

bcfctim Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Incredible really. Haven't heard anything for a while how's he doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tin Soldier Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 I reckon his team talk was inspirational to a lot more people than just the team. I am going down v Crewe next weekend after 10 years away!!!! I knew Mark well years ago, as did many. Top guy! Thinking of you & your family Mark.

CotswoldRed Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Seriously, can there be other contenders for this? Who would want to accept the award and take it away from him. Spot on. I'm utterly convinced his words to the players went a long way to saving us from an awful relegation. Give Mark the number 12 shirt and retire the number I say.

Would be a nice touch with the shirt & the picture of him giving his talk should be on the wall of the changing room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hang in there dude. Bit extreme. I get what Manon means, but agree with Dez. There are more fitting and meaningful ways to honour such a person Or maybe the next 'friendly' with The Gas could be called "The Divvy"? It sort of recognises Mark's story and rivalry with Rovers and how it changed over the years At worst the fans derby could recognise this - doubt there is any chance of us being allowed by the OB to play Rovers anytime soon in a 'friendly' But 100% agree about something - but it would be nice for him and his family to decide what the long term recognition involves. Will certainly be emotional to many when (if) he gets the award Saturday - just hope Mark and his family are able to enjoy their day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manon Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Yes I know! wasn't being completely serious tbh. Just think it would be nice to see a fans name up there instead of the usual chairman or manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
