When I open this thread I feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Probably thrush. :D

 

 

Arsing hell, do you have any idea how difficult it is for me to resist some kind of graphic description here? It's times like this I really really miss the old rep system and the ability to disgust people. 

 

Steve, you're a star mate, even if you never did send me those pictures of your knob. I can only echo what others have said about strength and inspiration. It's an incredibly humbling experience to be able to be so close to someone at such a personal time. x 

[Chairman Meow]

One of the first ever reps I had when I ventured out of the lurking shadows on here was a fairly graphic, bloody description of melons time of the month.

 

Got a good couple of days material out of that.

Oh Melons, you wouldn't want to see the old wrinkly fella now after the plastic surgeons have been at it with their scalpels.

After some reflection on this matter...of course you would! I should have taken some pics of the gangrenous stage. You would have just loved them!

You have always been one of my favourite posters Sherry. Not just for the disgusting content or the funny stuff, but because I know you're a good human being, one of the best.

I've got a weakness for strong women! :D

[stevebaby]

    

Same here.

 

Go on, Kev and/or Steve...and ticklemeclemo, for that matter, tell the whole story of Robbie Fowler vid! I want all the details

I'm saving the tale of how they got the vid for next Friday when we're going to a couple of Irish pubs for a few sherbets. It's sure to be a good'un.

 

 

No fuck it Kev...share it with the GF, the suspense is killing me too.

Pfft, I've clearly got a few specks of dust in my eyes now. 

 

 

The gangrene filled ones would have been framed and placed on the wall!

I once hugged Sherry outside a certain football ground.

 

Had an awful craving for cantaloupe after.

 

It does warm your heart though that there are a bunch of Australian GFers on stripper missions as we speak.

It reminds me of when Anubis (it was Anubis, wasnt it?) was Scouse Missionary on here. I reckon that title would fit Red4Life pretty well

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You would also be equally worthy recipients, AF and ticklemeclemo, only I'm not quite sure whether you're scousers by birth or not

[stevebaby]

I'm Australian by birth and lived all my life here. Just as well too, or I might never have met two of the finest men I've ever met...Kevin and Cavan.Both great examples of why this club is so great.The fans make the club, and there are many, many other examples on the GF of our clubs greatness.*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*There are a lot of sicko fucks too but we'll just gloss over them OK?

It's boss innit Steve - and fully deserved too mate if I may be so bold. A legend video sent to a legend TLW'er.

"Scouse Ambassador" would be suitable too, but I reckon he already has one of the best handles on the Forum.

Greetings and salutations!

 

Well where to begin??!!

 

I hadn't been to see Ste for a week or so so I made sure that if I got the chance I would get in and say g'day on Australia Day.

 

Cev and I had been talking and we are going to try and get the man out to an Irish bar here in the Rocks called the Mercantile or as we all know it Molly Malone's Bar on Friday afternoon. You are all invited of course but if photos of drunken debauchery are all that can be done then so be it.

 

It's not too far from where the main man is staying and if we can get a few scoops in with a wee bit of a sing song to some rebel songs then all the better. I've been practising my Fields of Athenry and Leaving of Liverpool religiously for days, can't say the same for my Guiness sipping though I'm sure I'll be well into the swing of things after a couple!

 

So to my visit yesterday. A couple of you may or may not know but a few of the Liverpool legends were here three weeks ago doing some talks around Australia.

 

A top man on here named Ticklemeclemo (Nath) got in contact with me an Cev to see if we could maybe try and swing a trip in to the hospital from the lads if time permitted.

 

It was all down to Nath's perserverance with 5times and conversing with Robin that got a result.

 

Nath sent them a link to the thread as well as the backstory to the main man we know as Ste Gandy.

 

Robin apologised on behalf of the lads but because of their tight schedule a visit may prove to be difficult to organise.

 

However Robbie was well gutted with not being able to get in to see the man but took the time to make Ste his very own video.

 

Nath, Cev and I just wanted to show Ste the message before we banged it up on here for everyone to see but his computer spat the dummy for a week or so so we weren't able to do it.

 

I asked Nath to put the video up under his user name because honestly the lad deserves all the credit in the world. Of course he refused and said that it isn't about him but credit where credit is due mate, you did a fucking outstanding thing for the man and you deserve all the praise in the world.

 

I obviously have thanked Robbie for taking the time to do what he did, we are all family was the response. So Robbie Fowler, thank you mate. I had always idolised you growing up, we are around the same age (shame I am miles better looking like but you can't win them all la!!)

 

Anyways the effect it had on Ste was untold. I can't imagine the pain the man is under but it was an added bit of relief for him and his spirits were undoubtedly lifted as a result of it.

 

I did get to meet a few of the interesting characters Ste has staying with him and over the next three and a half hours we told everyone that Ste had just got a message from God.

 

People thought we were either insane or a Blues Brothers cover band but their happiness for Ste and level of excitement just from what he told them was not only visible but you could feel it too.

 

I may have said this before but there is a real sense of camaraderie within that hospice and it all begins and ends with Ste. They see the red everywhere, they see the Liver Bird, they see these two funny sounding lads coming in all the time (Cev is a Scouser as well, although technically I am a "sock robber") and they are all becoming known to me. Noelene, Jimmy, all of them I will never forget.

 

I have said this in front of Ste but not here. This man is truly an inspiration. He has been a massive motivator for me in my own life and visiting him has helped me get through a few of my own personal struggles.

 

There are a couple of things in particular which have stood out for me.

 

We were down by Green Jesus one day and he said to me "Kev if you want things to happen in life, then only you can make them happen" which has never been too true a saying. I wrote that one down and promised that I would adopt that as my mantra from now on.

 

The other is Ste's indomitable spirit. I have seen a man with an outlook on life that is rivalled by no other. He is one who not only does what he says he means every single word, every single action.

 

In the most difficult of circumstances he appreciates the positive and this is something I will integrate into my own life. Someone, somewhere is having a much shittier ride than you so be grateful, be thankful, love a lot and be happy.

 

In the most unusual circumstances some truly great friendships have been formed. Without Ste I would never have met Cev and Alex or got to speak to Nath.

 

I am no ambassador, I am by no stretch of the imagination a great person either. I have my fair shake of faults, mistakes and misgivings but I genuinely believe that this experience has made me a better person and I really look up to this extraordinary man named Ste Gandy. A true champion.

 

A man that deserves all the admiration, love and support that we can give.

 

Now go bite those tiles comrade!!!

 

See you Friday mate.

 

You'll Never Walk Alone bud.

[lifetime fan]

Amazing.

[Skidfingers McGonical]

Reading this on the bus and have a big fuck of smile of pride to be associated with a group of people who I have never met.

 

Steve I can't add any other words to match what has already been said of you.

 

I have shared your story with a woman in work who's husband has a brain tumour and isn't dealing with it as well as he or his family would like. He's a blue but tribal colours mean fuck all when it comes to helping each other. I hope he can get some peace and get back his positive outlook on life during his last laps by reading how you have dealt with it. I know his wife has taken a great deal from reading it. I did cut out the mucky bits for her though. She's a good Catholic girl.

 

So, it's not just about how you have helped us to view things differently or deal with our own issues it's about how you have helped others who don't read these boards to get through their own troubles.

 

I personally had a recent scare and I was scared as fuck. Then I read your way of dealing with it and I didn't feel scared any more. Fortunately for me I got a positive result, but that doesn't mean your outlook does not have that same positive effect it had when I was scared.

 

As has rightly been said, your an inspiration Steve, and I can't thank you enough for sharing your story. And also to the lads for giving the finer details of your final journey. Which has been a great read.

 

None of you will ever walk alone, especially you Steve.

If there was any post you should be able to rep more than once...

[the chimp]

I see Nath is lurking. He won't put himself forward to take any praise, but when he showed me what he'd been up to it wasn't remotely a surprise. He's a great fella - the big-footed, Star-Wars-loving legend - and I'm fortunate enough to consider him a mate.

[Section_31]

Two different spellings of Kevin in one room though, that's gotta be a headfuck Ste.

[Reds4Life]

One other thing now that I look back on the day that I failed to mention before but I think needs to be added..

 

Ste and I were outside with Noelene and we were talking about his love of bikes and his ability to build them as well as his love for the Tours bike races.

 

And we were talking to them about how we had viewed the Tour de France with now. And I mentioned to them that he has all of these people all over the world behind him, which has come down into a field of four and then Ste said

 

"and at some point I'm going to grab the yellow jersey and go for the breakaway."

[Melchett]

The GF, a great bunch of lads ('n lasses).

[VladimirIlyich]

The one advantage Steve now has is that he's on more drugs than any Tour De France rider ever has been on.

Hopefully this works and Steve doesn't mind me sharing it. As it does belong to him after all

 

If not I'll happily pm it to someone who isn't a technological fucktard to post

 

Big thanks to the kevs who made sure the message was delivered in the appropriate way

 

And to Steve himself. I hope it bought you a few moments of happiness to know that god knows who you are ( as did Didi)

Fabulous work, everyone. Again

For a bunch of horrible, snide, misanthropic bunch of outcasts, misfits and deviants we aren't really all that bad on here if the need arises. 

 

I say we, I've done fuck all really other than try to get Steve to sort me a visa and put in a good word with my future wife.
