Superb news. Hopefully more good news to follow. Best wishes to Dave, his family and all those helping and supporting him.



Gary.

expect to see him at TO13 next season.....

Dave rang me today and all being well he will be at the Fax televised home game which I think is Hunslet??

Don't you mean Perpignan?

Hope to see dave at the NRC final.Maybe the club(s) can put together and pay for a ticket for dave, if he hasn't already got 1

Their was a number of very generous Fax fans who would have gladly contributed to picking up the tab for Dave to be at the final in Blackpool and it goes without saying how much that is appreciated.



The unpredictable nature of Dave's daily circumstances and the number of people involved in his welfare meant it very dificult for any real plans for us on the outside to make, because of this it was thought it be best for those responible for his care and closet to him and who would have to look after him on the day to decide if they wanted to go.

He may yet be there but either way he will be fully behind the lads.

I will be speaking to him soon and let you all know.

Thanks.

Cheers for the reply.



Hope he can make it and enjoy himself

Any updates on Dave cheers. How far is he from a full recovery?

Dave has been in the Daniel Yorath centre for the last few months.

He has been out and about with his parents on limited excursions and you may have seen him at a couple of Fax games on the new stand concourse area.

He has been home on the weekends lately and moves are in place to make that more permanent but there is a fair bit of work to do for his access and egress needs.

Very upbeat and has shown tremendous determination and courage in his fight for recovery.

Sadly the wheelchair will be part of his life from now on but he does have a life that he can enjoy with his family friends and his beloved clubs of Fax and Town.



The character and sheer good nature of the man is to be seen once again as he personally states having no bad feelings towards any club, their supporters and has completely moved on.

A truly fine example for us all.



Thanks for support.

Keep it up Dave.



It's still hard to imagine that one day last year at a rugby league match someone's life was changed dramatically forever. What a mad world we live in. I hope this thread is kept on here for a long long time - for the updates - and as poingnant reminder that even on the most innocuous of occasions your life can change instantly.

Thanks for the update Faxcar, it is good to know that Dave is making progress though be it slowly. He is an inspiration to us all.



Rich I quite agree, a very mad world that we live in.
