Stunned. Terrible news.

I'm so sad to hear the loss of Mr. Wilks. I've stayed over on various away trips Torquay, Peterborough etc. in the same room. Plus the odd pre-season drinking session. He will be sorely missed.

Work is the curse of the drinking classes.

Gutted to read this.

Known Dave since the early 70s, when he had long hair and his own sartorial mix of an Afghan coat and bovver boots, and enjoyed years of away trips with him and the chaps, by bus or train or car as the song goes.

A regular in quite a number of "lost" pubs over the years, the Windsor, the MA, the Greyhound, the Grapes and the Florist among others.

My S/T seat is next to his and i''ll miss clambering over him to get in place, and the whiff of his surreptitious gaspers on a frosty afternoon.

And, of course, he added to the English language with the phrase "to Wilkes it" becoming commonplace for those travelling to an away match then deciding to stop in the pub.

RIP old timer, a sad loss.

RIP Dave
Can't believe you won't be sitting there when I return. Regret I won't be able to ask you what you've been saying to me all these years.

Forever beautiful

In my time as a County fan over 50 years now I would say that our paths have probably crossed but I can’t picture him. That said R.I.P. Dave Wilkes.

Had a phone call earlier.
Dave has been County through and through since before I first started going over 45 years ago, never missed a trip.
Always made me laugh from his participation in ‘early doors’ card games in The Greyhound (arguing with The Captain over him paying up with a pile of 1/2 p’s)…to his superbly belligerent speech at his 65th Birthday bash in the Spinning Top (he begrudgingly took the cake home eventually!)
R.I.P. Mr Wilkes
You’ll be sadly missed Sir.

STILL have ‘(Orson) Cartier Industries (Stockport)’ T-shirts left.
5 sizes…£10 adults…£5 kids.
Can’t be arsed posting/delivering so pm me & I’ll meet you in a pub if possible!

Very sad news, RIP Dave

The beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad so I had one more for dessert.

RIP - a County original and old school to the core.
