oafcprozac Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Life can be so unfair sometimes, a young man with everything to live for cut down in this prime. Unfortunately this horrible disease is no respector of personal circumstances and takes those least deserving of such a fate. Your spirit will live on through your child and in the hearts of those who loved you and held you dear. I'm sure your memory will often blow on the breeze of a cold Boundary Park day. Remember Ernie, only the good die die young. Good Night God Bless mate, Your immortality will amongst Latics fans will reign forever. not ashamed to admit it, I'm shedding a tear or two, gutted...........

billy Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 (edited) I mainly post on oafc.co.uk but have been checking the updates on here for the past week or so. Terrible terrible news. I wouldn't wish death on anybody but it truly frustrates me when scum like Barton are alive and well while at the same time a true fans' favourite and loveable character passes away under such tragic circumstances.

You fought a brave and valiant battle, I've nothing but the utmost respect for you. Will be missed sadly by so many. God bless you. i think that sums Ernie up perfectly. How he performed on the pitch he performed in life and in his battle against his illness. He did his bit for us when we were at our lowest ebb and for that we are very grateful. Let's not forget he had a bit of skill as well. God speed Ernie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
