Vale LIDGE

[scottywiper]

Can we rename the weekly Bigfooty votes the "Lidge Memorial Award"

Was going to suggest the same thing.

This board will never be the same again.

He was certainly one that a lot of us looked to late last year when the AFL and media were scaring the crap out of us over the GC issue.

 

[Groggyk]

Felt sick when I read this.

Didn't know Lidge personally but always came across as an intelligent and passionate North man who always had me laughing & saying to myself, "I wish I'd thought of that."

Will be sadly missed and commiserations to his family and close friends.

 

[Paulkanga2000]

I'm shock!

This is very sudden

Was he ill?

I meet him a the roo-sistence concert and the bbq and he was great passionate north melbourne guy

that certainly speaks for me MBP, couldn't agree more.

Ah sh*t!

Been crossing swords on Bay 13 - I'm going to leave it alone for a while out of respect.

 

[CrazyQ]

This is not good at all. Met Lidge, with a few other posters at the Roo-sistence gig, then a couple of times later, and besides his hate for hip hop, was a very good man. Way too early and was a massive contributor to our stay in Melbourne when no one wanted to do it besides a few on BigFooty.

Jesus, still cant believe it, tragic, tragic news as someone said, this board has lost a huge man and my condolences to his family and friends.

Rest In Peace, my man.

 

[Urmoe]

Total shock. 'twas an honour.

Rest in peace big fella.

 

[Kangalicious]

I didn't believe it when I took the phone call.

I didn't believe it even as I rang others to tell them.

I still don't believe it now.

Lidge - larger than life, one of the heroes of Roo-sistence, I have been proud to know you and work with you and drink with you and barrack with you. And I am STILL waiting for the phone call to assure me that this is a mistake.

 

[The Ardent Army]

A true North man if there ever was.
We are forever indebtted to him for his efforts to help save our great club.
RIP

 

[rb214]

Terrible just terrible.

I had met Lidge randomly a couple of times and a great man and supporter of North.

He was also a leader over the past year in his efforts to keep north south.

I really am saddened to hear this news.

God bless him and his family.

I hope the club is informed of this and black armbands are worn for him over the weekend.

 

[Binxy]

Just shattered.

From the little I knew of him, a great bloke with a quick wit.

My thoughts go out to his friends, family and to all you Shinboners who obviously knew him more intimately than me.

A sad day for BF.

 

[Ripper]

Condolences.

The world will be a lesser place.

 

[trevagreene]

sad news.
im speechless.
never met him, but got the sense of his true Shinboner spirit through BF and his adds during our time of need.
RIP Lidge.
Condelenses to the family.

 

[ben.carbonaro]

Dont do this Pharro.

Cant be right.

Yeah I am confused.

What happened?

 

[Hawks1523]

..

Loved his efforts on bay13, even those against us. Never knew much more of him then that, but enjoyed everything he's contributed to bay13. From everybodies comments here, sounded like an awesome bloke, condolences to his friends, family and everybody here who met him.

As Binxy said, very sad day.

 

[Woodson]

Shock. Very sad to hear and will forever be missed. Such a dissappointment I never got around in meeting him in person. RIP Lidge.

 

[Hawkk]

Shattered.

One of the best posters on Bigfooty, always entertaining with and good for a laugh

RIP

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Oh God.

This news is unbelievable, dreadful for his family and his many friends, and we'll all be thinking of you with great sadness, and great appreciation for having shared him with us.

It's also shattering for all of us who just know Lidge as a sensational fellow supporter, fellow poster and warrior for the North Melbourne Football Club. It's been an honour and a pleasure.

 

[Too_many_talls]

Just terrible news. Didn't know Lidge, but felt like he was one of my mates.

Commiserations to family from Rooby_Tuesday and me.

 

[rooboy_88]

Jus was speaking to GR and thought no way this is BS.

Had the pleasure of meeting him at the roosistence gig and always thought he was easily in the top 2-3 posters on this board.

R.I.P mate and condolences to the family.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

Absolutely gutted.

At least he went out with a win against Collingwood, and at least I got to share a beer with him afterwards.

Sincerest condolences to his wife, children and family.

 

[Roos4eva]

No, no, no!!

I never met him, but I'm absolutely stunned, absolutely shocked, seriously.

RIP Lidge, jeez, cannot believe this.

Shocking news, Lidge was an inspiration to all who knew him to get behind NMFC and keep us in Melbourne. Always friendly, passionate and smart, condolences to the family, Vale Lidge
