Bernard Morley

I used to travel regularly with The Supporters Club in the late 80's early 90's and I can only echo everything that has been said about Bernard.

I don't think he missed a game home or away for about 30 years and I remember one occasion when we were away (I think it was Bristol Rovers at Twerton Park) and he missed the coach, he drove all the way there on his own.

A more dedicated fan you could not meet.

RIP Bernard, one in a million.

a brick he should have a wall or a stand named after him.........

Quoted from marinerian

He was the man who ran the supporters club travel for many years. A man with a great sense of humour and also liked the passion of The Town fans.

Oh some great stories of Bernard, one memory is him waving his stick in anger as two fans had a huge argument on the bus.

Also only missed games towards the end of his like due to ill health.

Before that he missed one game in 25 years and that was when his dear wife passed away. Before that she was happy for him to go to games, as he said "she always knew where I was and was not getting into trouble"

A top bloke, that Mr Terry is not a patch on him

I think the 3 smileys at the end are a bit of a clue Dave.

You see Les, what we ex footballers are  like very touchy at times but are there to stick up for the right reasons.
Also I will say I am sorry for getting it wrong.

No way was an insult even suggested in my post.

I travelled a good 6/7 years with Bernard and Terry.

I saw Bernard as a great friend and Terry is also a great friend too.

Anyway UTM and BM will never be forgotten

No offence taken......just let me meet some heros in the future   (only joking)

Maybe do a Bernard Morley tribute night? He did much more than the travel club. He was part of the safety committee I think. I am sure Terry could tell us much more about Bernard than I can.

the chap was an absolute champion. i cant thank him enough for some of the things he did! i went to swansea away (fa cup i seem to think) on a tuesday night. i was travelling on my own and i forgot my packing up, i was only 16, and he gave me the best seat in the house, and chatted to me all the way there. he bought me some food at the services (there and back) and made sure i had a drink at half time too. such a nice guy that will be a voice of legend with every town fan. i did mention to the club at the time, that his seat should have a reserved label on it. if they took this idea up, i dont know.
