Well Ive just got back from barcelona on a high and to hear this news like everyone else I'm devastated.
Thanks for keeping us upto date Martin on his condition and to anyone who has done any fund raising for his family in this time well done your efforts won't have been in vain I'm sure.
I like the idea of renaming the Rose Bowl trophy to The Ernie Cooksey rose Bowl Trophy as its a fitting tribute to someone who played for both clubs With heart, passion, courage and honesty. He will always be a fans favourite as you knew he was the type of guy whould leave nothing in the changing room.
All the Best Ernie
