Backroom Tom Posted August 16, 2012 Backroom Posted August 16, 2012 RIP uncle jack We miss you Edited title as its 12 years not 8
Salgado Is A Hero Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 It's a shame that the day he died was on my birthday obviously a lot more for him, I don't mean it like that, it just always makes me a little sad...although on the bright side it's my birthday today, R.I.P........Also, my Dad's company once did some building work on property of his in Jersey quite a few years ago....he said he was a really nice guy, always asking if the builders needed anything and generally being really helpful....at the end of each day he would always provide beers and things for people to take home, or whatever they requested, then at the end of the project gave them a whole load of alcohol from his house.
ultrablue Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 We should always take the time at the beginning of every new season to remember and celebrate what Uncle Jack did for our club. Forgot todays problems and recall the sheer joy Jack Walker gave us. Thank you Uncle Jack.
old darwen blue Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 Is it really twelve years? Rest in peace Uncle Jack
Majiball Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 RIP, thanks for all the memories. PS could you nip across to Loka and give old man Venky a ###### round the head and tell him to sort his kids out, thanks.
Pugg Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 Going to go and pay my respects at his grave today. RIP uncle jack

blue_n_white99 Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 Superlatives can never do justice to what Uncle Jack achieved for a small North West town. He took all of us on the happiest ride of our footballing lives and gave Blackburn a team to be proud of, generated income and jobs in the town and it was always done the right way. Thank you Jack Walker, you'll will always have a place in all Rovers fans hearts Might I suggest the first home game be dedicated to songs of "One Jack Walker, there's only one Jack Walker"

Kelbo Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 Legend. Venkys,Keanscum et al read it and weep. RIP Jack Walker, we will never forget you and what you did for Rovers, so sad to be destroyed by the Indians and the Cowboys who have infiltrated Ewood Park!!
roverandout Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 it would take a million venkys to make up one jack walker!!!
Elegia Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 RIP Jack. Remember it like yesterday, still ranks as the saddest day of my Rovers supporting days. Such a unique man, a man who made all our wildest dreams come true. Few people have that ability to make such dreams a reality. Jack was one of the fewer who actually used that ability to actually do just that. And all because he wanted to. He not only touched the hearts of us Rovers fans but the football world too. The tributes from our bitterest rivals and football fans everywhere, on the fences around Ewood, paid fitting testament to the legend he is. Forever thank you Jack!!
braddock Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 The only time I've ever cried at a football game was the game after his death.
