remember when i first went to his dads house in london, his dad has loads of pics of him as a kid at colchester and with all his youth teams. remember thinking it was funny to see his full head of blond hair. his dad was so proud of him.
ern was a big millwall fan too, so its really poignant that our first game is against them. he was spending a day a week at millwall coaching the kids there before he fell ill.

I am Louises brother and was thinking about driving down from Middlesbrough to attend the audience with Andy Ritchie in Oldham tomorrow. I will give Carl Spiers a ring and book some tickets. I met you at the Boundary Park game on May 11th and after the match we all went to the Copper pot Indian restuarant in Rochdale, the owner was the lovely bloke who reffed the second half of the match.
Ernie was a special person, who loved life and adored my sister. He fought and fought with true Cooksey grit to the end and he passed away without any pain. Ernie always spoke with high regard about his times with Oldham and Rochdale and I have spent hours on the net reading all the messages and tributes from all the messageboards and news articles that Google will allow me. The man upstairs truely has a great person with him.
Ernies tribute first game of the season.
