R.I.P Dave Cousins-The Big Dady 😢

Forums New posts
Very sad news indeed, condolences to his family and friends. I didn't know Dave but his pre match reviews were incredibly detailed, he obviously put a lot of work into them. RIP fellow Shrimper.

One of my most favourite immediate memories of his 'Dave-ness' was when we were protesting outside the rat's house. Dave wasn't up to stand-up protest, but he drove his BMW round and round out side the house hitting his horn continuously, it drove us mad so what it did for the Rat is anyone's guess. Sleep tight mate.

I had been wondering who that was to this day.

I personally didn’t know Dave but his exploits in the old Beemer outside the Rat’s Nest will be a story I’ll tell for the rest of my days.

May he rest in peace.

Very sad news. Never knew him aside from on here.

Perhaps the match day threads in general can be renamed "The Big Dady" match day thread, or something similar or appropriate.

We have already thought of a way we can honour his memory Mark for all the work he did on here.

You and Colin were his best mates, he loved being with you both at the games and in the pub. He will be sadly missed on Saturday, even though he has been unable to attend games recently.

He was a very humble man Geoff, it wasn't until recently i learnt he had a famous singing daughter. Shows you how dumb i am at times.
