nutty nigel 7,513 Posted January 16, 2011 Well done Kev, you so deserve this win and I''m chuffed to bits to be able to add your name to Ray''s line of fame..... Carve their names with pride.Yankee,3,Fellas,3,P''boro,2,Mr Chops,2,NewYork, Inch High,2, Blahblahblah, NCFC_Shaun, 1st Wazzock, Fonejacker,3, Norfolkbroadslim, Norfolkchance1, Scooby,2, Trent Canary, Cosmic Twin, Graham Humphrey, Leedscanary, yes Norfolkchance1 £1182 for the Academy,so far. It was also a great week to record our sixth win of the season. A win for the PUPs and for Kev is a great way to mark the second anniversary of Arrdee''s passing. Ray will be smiling down on us all tonight. We now have six wins this season totalling over £220. [Y] I''ll be back later with the stats. They will make good reading. Us PUPs have had a great weekend! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leedscanary 337 Posted January 16, 2011 I am so proud tonight, words almost fail me.However, 2 years ago almost to the day, we lost the man that set all this up for us. I''ll never forget it as that weekend I was working at the trophy exhibition where I selected the awards I promised to donate to the Pups at the end of each season. It was a new venture for my company, and Ray was very excited about it. We emailed many times and I was looking forward to meeting Ray at the presentation. When I arrived home from the exhibition, I learned of his sad passing and even though I had never the met the man I shed many tears. I still think about him every time we create this thread.Originally, I passed on the opportunity to have a pick this year, as I have done it many times in the past and I wanted others to have a go.. Eddie contacted me a few weeks ago to tell me there was a space this weekend and would I like to pick. Even though I knew I really busy with the exhibition, I couldn''t resist as I knew it was Rays anniversary and I jumped at the chance. Thankfully I have lived up to Eddie and Rays expectations, and even though it is only £13.00 ish it feels like a million pounds.Thanks to all the Pups who have selected, sorry for all the sentemental words, but this really means alot to me. Wish it could have been all six, but I ain''t complaining. Here''s to Billy, our generous sponsor, Nutty for all his efforts, Pups new and old, and Ray, sweet dear old Ray - you had a vision and it grew from 5 or 6 people to nearly 60 every week. You really were the sweetest sweet in the tin.Leedscanary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All those many hundreds of thousands of fans the length and breadth of the country and we have 3 great men to thank, so thank you Ray,Eddie, and Billy our very own 3 musketeers or should that read pioneers.[Y] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Between us we gave Leedscanary 28 different selections with 22 winning and 1 void making a success rate of 82%. Thanks again Kev I so know you enjoyed the week. And I’m so pleased that your name is now on Ray’s line of fame. Our Pups League is still unbelievably close. There is only one result between the top 12 pickers. It really is wide open!
