Oh no I can't believe it, we're very good friends,spoke to his wife Annie on Monday,we always have dinner together the first night of Cheltenham and we were arranging it as usual,he had a fall and broke his shoulder but was going to have physio and didn't foresee a problem getting to Cheltenham etc,Life is so sh1t at times.

My mate reminded me of this .....Motty used to put cones in the parking space for his car (close to hotel entrance - bit cheeky ) when he left for Cheltenham ....One year my mate moved them to the far end of car park , as far away as it could get ......

Cheers Strontium,seeing the reaction and the wall to wall media coverage on him makes me realise even more how lucky I was to strike up the friendship with him. Been looking through all the messages and photo's we had together and feel so sad right now,he nearly always brought me a book when we met up and Paulo the last one he brought me was Victor's.
Also Paulo,we dumped the Dormy 7-8 years ago when they turned it into a spa hotel,ruined it,he went first and remember joking "You lead We follow". |

Cheers Ribero , yes I stopped when it went four days or just afterwards , loved Victor's book too . A very young Nevo was in our group too haha .

Hi Paulo.yes remember Nevo being there,usually worse for wear
 was down at breakfast early 1 day and he was doing something with David Ashforth,he introduced me to David who always now comes and has a chat if we see each other on course. |
