I understand that Dukes’s family have been invited to attend Saturdays game by the club and have agreed. What a great gesture by the club and I will be trying desperately to get there in time from holiday.

Always made a point of chatting with Dave, Trevor and Matt, over the years following our beloved Darts, still remember the banter on the forum too. We all bought Puredfc polo's and met each other all those years ago, those days of collections and auctions which helped in a way keep the club going. Missed but never forgotten Dukey, The Don, Last Dictator and I send condolences to all especially Helen and the family. Another Darts legend fan passes, R.I.P.

It was very sad to hear of Dave's passing. I knew of him, but never directly spoke with him.
He did amuse me with his spellings of Odaudu and I changed the forum to use his 3 spellings to the correct name.

My sincere condolences to his family & close friends.

Superb memories indeed Greg. Can't believe how those years have passed.

Thanks 5th. I will try to get down from Derbyshire but work may restrict me.

I always appreciated the occasional chat with Dave because of my Norwich links too and my boys who football wise grew up on the PP terraces were gutted to hear the news too - they always loved his big hat RIP fella

It would be great if you can make it Paul I’m sure his family would appreciate it but fully understand due to the distance & work.
