Bristolatic Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 RIP Bobby. Another of Oldham's sons no longer with us. Very sad. Condolences to all his family and friends. Maybe "Boys in Blue" could be incorporated into match days as a tribute, somehow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unsworth blue Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 RIP Bobby Ball Forever A Boy in Blue in OAFC Hearts - agree with Bristollatic, maybe a good time for the club to incorporate Boys In Blue in their match days? As well as that song, I hear he did a lot for charity too - thanks Bobby on behalf of all charitable causes you supported Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfatjoe1 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Genuinely gutted. Not just a very funny man (does anyone remember them on the Wheel Tappers and Shunters Social Club?), but also an excellent comedy actor. The Fattest Man in Britain was brilliant. Very sad day. RIP Bobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
