Apparently someone who ran a youth team approached Stan Bowles and asked him in he would appear at their presentation night. Stan asked if there was a fee? The coach responded no, as they were an amateur youth team. Stan then asked if they could do drinks on the house for the evening, and the coach agreed. He subsequently commented that, in hindsight, paying Stan a fee may have been cheaper. RIP Stan, one of football’s characters and a pleasure to watch.
RIP. Seemed to be doing better recently but maybe he knew the outcome and wanted to make the most of it?
I've been watching the recent series and they referred to his cancer a lot and suggested he was better. Sadly not it seems
Shit that is sad at least he managed a few last rides with his mate Kingy. RIP Dave, thanks for the laughs
RIP Dave Loved the moment you got on your beloved bike and inspiring us living with cancer that we can do anything Thinking of you Si your family and friends
RIP Dave. I have watched many of the Hairy Bikers antics over the years and reading their books even got me into cooking!.. it feels like i've lost a friend, even though i never met him, very very sad day.
RIP Dave. A shorter life than you should have had but one filled with doing and sharing the things you loved.
