All the very best Bernard for a speedy and full recovery.

I'll never forget you coming on the supporters bus with a tray of sandwiches at Burton after we had pinched a 1-1 and then run into some trouble with some 'locals'. Always will be an Alty legend.

Get well soon Bernard, all the best for a speedy recovery!

Thanks for all the memories....

I beg to differ.

They were extremely muddy in the quagmire surrounding the dugouts at Canal Street on Boxing Day 1998 (when Stuart Coburn scored a goal).

Indeed, take care of yourself Bernard and get yourself well again. Absolutely a top top man, one of, if not the nicest bloke I've ever met.

Get well soon Bernard. A good friend of mine suffered a stroke about 12 years ago. It was a big shock but she recovered totally and has had absolutly no problems since so keep positive.
I used to love seeing the players dash to give Bernard a big hug after scoring and it's great Bernard is fondly remembered as a succesful manager of Alty as well as a big favourite with the fans...we had some great times under Bernard and he bought back a lot of pride to the club at our lowest moments.

Get well soon Bernard. Will never forget the time you got onto the supporters coach after a dreadful defeat at Winsford and apologised to all the travelling supporters. I think half the team left after that game and we went on a winning run resulting in promotion. A true gent and got the job done when it needed doing.

All,

I've spoken to Bernard this morning, he is a bit fed up but doing OK.

I told him about this thread and some of the comments that were on it.  I didn't want to take any of the impact away from when he reads he but he was absolutley made up with it and couldn't believe it.  Footballs a game where you can be quickly forgotten and this thread is just incredible.

He wants to do a reply to everyone so I am ringing him at 3 so he can pass a message of thanks back to all the people who have taken the time to post.

If he wants any cake to help with the healing process, I am happy to supply some
