He provided an unbiased but friendly view, with plenty of robust (perhaps too robust in the end) insights into media coverage of the club. He also provided me with a useful snippet of inforrmation when I was writing about Cullumgate, which now seems a long time ago. RIP. He was a big fan of Roeder wasnt he? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nuff Said 5,089 Posted February 23, 2020 15 hours ago, Alex Moss said: That had to be Wiz or Cluck I’m guessing, GPB? Edit - must be Wiz as I don’t think it was ever confirmed what happened to Cluck, although to this day I still am absolutely certain I had a random meeting with him at a pub in Dorset. I think that was around the time all Pink’un moderators started their usernames with the prefix ‘Sportsdesk’, and one day Cluck changed his name to ‘Sportsdesk Cluck’ which didn’t go down too well with the mods haha 😂 Don’t forget Arthur Whittle, another poster who has sadly left us for the Carrow Road in the sky. He was always ready for an argument. I used to enjoy his plaintive excuses when he said his nephews had been posting using his account. I still have no idea whether it was true, or just an excuse to backtrack on going OTT. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Load of Squit 5,128 Posted February 23, 2020 I always enjoyed the mad bloke from Norway who claimed to be a professional gambler and whenever he visited the UK he used to go and watch Arsenal because Norwich was too far away from London. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I posted before that I feared the worst after a similar thread on here. Cam sent me a lovely email after we were relegated in 2014 and we exchanged a few more emails . When he was mentioned on here a few years later I emailed him but got no reply. While he was posting in here he always took part in Rays Funds but would never make the final picks because he said that should be for Norwich fans. Me and Ray always imagined him posting on here late at night while having a single malt. RIP Cam 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Me and Ray always imagined him posting on here late at night while having a single malt. RIP Cam Cameldonum was capable of random acts of kindness. Over a long period of time, I was working on pulling together a lifetime's memories from a reasonably well-know ex-Football League manager who had enjoyed several eventful decades inside the game at various clubs. It was a labour of love, not a commercial project. There came a point where the fans of one of the clubs he had managed decided that they wanted to fun-raise to erect a permanent tribute at their stadium. Completely unprompted, and requesting no publicity, *Ian offered to pay the difference between the sum needed and the sum raised. True to his word, a reasonably large cheque arrived enabling the project to get over the line. Nutty Nigel - he always said he never touched alcohol, but I much prefer your idea that he got through the night with the help of a warming whiskey 🙂 One thing is sure - he was a colourful character and a man of many parts. Edit - Oops. *Alan, not Ian! Thanks to Norfolkbroadslim for pointing this error out. Although Cam was smart enough to see into the future so he was bit of a Lost Prophet in his own way.
