I thought I had seen it earlier, it might have been posted yesterday perhaps.
Might even been a couple of days ago.
-
The reason you can all see that message today is people going to his page and "likeing" Alan's last post ... Alan posted that on the 27th July but so many of the people from Calis and UK are going to his page to send messages of kindness to him and his family that his own posts will show as active!
Still sending a trazillion prayers xx

-
I've just heard from Musty. He is at the hospital with Alan.
Alan is in intensive care but the doctors aren't hopeful of a recovery:(
-
Latest from Guy is that Alan has had an ischeamic stroke and that the hospital are trying manitol to bring the swelling down
Guy said that he could see in his eyes that he recognises him and can see he is hurting but there is nothing he (Guy) can do
They have to wait 15 days to see how he responds
The rest of Guy's message was heartbreaking.
I am sorry to be the bearer of such bad news. :( :( :(

Mustafa
I've just heard from Musty. He is at the hospital with Alan.

Such sad news, I don't know Alan but have read his posts over the years. Positive thoughts being sent his way x
-
Hi everyone, I happened to find Alan on the floor of his villa, yesterday morning 31st July. An ambulance was called and he is now in intensive care at Devlet Hospital. He has suffered a stroke and apparently the first 48 hours are critical. our thoughts are with him and his family. His 2 son's Guy and Grant are here now and his other son Mitch will be here shortly. His eyes are open, but not a great deal of response from him, as yet. Fingers crossed, come on mate, football season starts soon, xxx John
-
So glad you found him John. God only know how long he would have lain there had you not stopped by.
-
Keep fighting Alan ,you can do it again.
-
Best wishes to you Alan. Thinking of all the family too. Read but never met! from Alan & Pauline.
-
Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family Bernie and Martyn
-
Echo all the thoughts and prayers of everyone on here. Best wishes Alan, keep fighting.
-
Thank god you were there John,your quick actions will have saved his life, our fingers are crossed and saying prayers for Alan. X
-
John - lets hope you finding Alan was the start of his recovery.
Like everyone else we still have everything crossed here for a dear friend.
-
I had the pleasure of meeting him on my visit last year. I too, wish him a full and speedy recovery. Come on Alan, you can do it!
-
I do not know Alan but my thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. God bless from The Rooneys x
-
Is there any more news from the hospital?
-
Not since Musty managed to talk to him on his way to the mri Anne.
-
I'm afraid the news from Turkey today is not good at all.
The boys must be going through hell >:( >:( >:(
-
Very sad. Sorry for Alan's family and friends. :(
-
So so sad, Alan would hate this, after all he has come through over the last few years, all to prolong his life.
-
Praying for a miracle :( Come on Alan xxx

hi its guy, alans son. I dont usually post on the forum i never seem to get time being a nurse im always working :) but i cant believe this threat is seven pages long, i want to express my heartfelt thanks for all of the support and kindness youve shown, and to thankyou for being my dads friends, whenever he came to the uk i could never get a word in about my own news because my dad was talking about all of you, a lot ive met, some like scunner, pookie etc i feel i know through all of the stories and happy memories my dad shared.
ive met highlander and all i can say is what an amazing person he is, that hes been coming here and sharing news has made my troubles so much easier, im informed that highlander has had a personal loss too and this must be so hard for him and i can never truely express how deeply moved i am by your kindness.
then theres john hulme, he found my dad and got in the house to get him to the hospital, what can i say about this man could never describe just how much he means to all of us, john you are like a brother to my dad, a best friend, he loved his football sessions with you, not to mention the meri bar sessions!!!!
barbara and lisa and muzzy, i know dont use the forum but theyve been through it with us, taking us to the hospital, translating.
rindaloo another i cant thank enough, she was always there for my dad with her wonderful husband dave, ive met people through my dad that i will cherish for the rest of my life.
I wish i could give you all good news and say my dad will get better but the doctor has told us if he recovers his brain will be fully active but his body will only ever be able to blink, my dad wouldnt want that, its heartbreaking but the emotion i felt when i logged onto this forum has made me feel so much better and i can never thank you all enough, im proud to be a part of this community, and im proud to be my fathers son,
my dad was and is amazing, when 2 of his sons came out that they were gay he didnt bat an eye lid, he accepted us all no matter what, when i had cancer when i was 22 he never once let me fear it and was there for me. anyone can have kids, but being a father, thats something that not everyone has the ability to do, my dad wasnt just my father but my best friend, and im glad you all were a part of his life, i thankyou all!!!!
-
Guy, its simple really, everyone who meets Alan, likes him. His spirit, humour and twinkle leaves a lingering impression. He is a proud man and he is proud of his lovely sons. It's patently obvious how close you all are. People are stunned and much saddened by what has happened. And people feel so helpless. We all want you to know how much we care. Thanks so much for your lovely message here. Hugs (as always) to you all.
-
Hi Guy,
Thanks for a lovely post mate. I met you once or twice when I took your Dad to the airport to pick you up etc. I am so sorry to hear about your Dad's plight and I truly hope he is not suffering any pain through all this!! He is a fighter, always has been and always will be so I will keep praying for a miracle for him.
Like you say in your post Guy, your Dad is loved by everybody in Calis and all that know him through this forum. I have never met anybody who has a bad word to say about him. Even the non-City fans love him!!!
Keep your chin up Guy and keep talking to him, he will take great encouragement from your words.
Keep fighting Alan, Calis needs you mate xxx
-
I have never met Alan, but his sons words have truly moved me. I hope that he is not in pain, and that he makes a miracle recovery. X
-
I think Rindi said it beautifully Guy......quite simply, your Dad is a remarkable Man, we could all learn a lot from his courage, his determination, his sense of humour and his 'naughty' twinkle. You only need to meet him once to know what a special person he is. We all feel so useless, and it is heartbreaking to hear your news, but please take comfort from the love of his friends. We are all here for you, for Dad, your Brothers and family. Be sure to send everyone's love when you speak to him - he will be listening and will no doubt think we're all a sentimental lot of wallies......but tell him anyway !. Pookie sized hugs and love xxxx
-
Guy
I know what it must have taken to write that post and that the tears will probably have been flowing with each word.
But in doing so, you have shown immense courage. The kind of courage that your dad and all of his family will need to keep showing.
I suspect that there will be many on here and elsewhere who, like me, have sat down three of four times and tried to express what we truly want to say. But words seem to fail us at times like these and they could never express the deepness of our sorrow anyway.
One thing I do know however is that the love and support Brenda and I received from this Forum was totally overwhelming.
Every word that so many people wrote was a comfort to us and helped us through the darkest of times.
There is nothing I can say other than try and stay strong and rest as much as you can.
With tears of sadness.

A father could not wish for a better tribute to be paid to him from a son or daughter and a son could not wish for more from a parent. God bless you both.
-
what wonderful brave words from you Guy, Ive never had the privilege of meeting your Dad, but you're testament to what a great man he is and I feel like I know him from your words.
Love to you, your Dad and your brothers x
-
i dont know alan but like the rest of the forum i will pray that he is in a good place...god bless xx
-
My thoughts are with you all.
-
I truly hope and pray that one day, God willing, your father will sit at his pc, log onto the forum and read your post.
Guy your remarkable father also has three wonderful sons. Keep strong boys
Much love to you all
Anne & Billy
-
I don't know Alan ,but echo all the good thoughts from his friends and family .
-
Have managed to get back on the forum, thank you for the help.
Staying positive for my sky blue mate, my thoughts are with him and Guy, Grant, and Mitch, come on Al, we WILL have that drink in two weeks,xxx
-
What an amazing post Guy - such inner strength you must have found to even begin it, let alone write what you did. I know Alan very well and the only thing I want to say at this stage is that he is probably the last person I have met that I would give up hope on - I've seen with my own eyes - the grit and determination of the man in the face of adversity and serious ill health.
Keep the faith, there's a few thousand on here doing the same.
-
I find this thread so heart rendering
I did not know Alan but the posts echo how much loved Alan is.
Thoughts are with you Guy and your family x
-
I too have never met Alan but from the messages here wish I had.
Best wishes to all his family and friends.
If you need anything bringing over next week just ask.
-
I too have never had the pleasure of meeting Alan and only wish that I had and whose to say that I won't. My thoughts are with you all. I lost my mum a few months ago and found the following verse so helpful - I tend to read it when I just need that extra bit of help. I am not overly religious and hope you do not mind me sharing it:
When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you 'till it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn
Barbara and family xxxx
-
My thoughts are with you,your friends and family, Guy. A very fitting tribute to your father. Let's Keep the faith and defy all odds.
-
Guy,
I've only met Alan the one time - a couple of years back - but since then we have always kept in touch via email, facebook or this forum. I was only speaking with him last Friday and arranging to meet up for a beer and a footy game when we go out in Sept. As always I asked him how he was doing and he said he felt great and was ready to tackle the pool cleaning (whilst I was going to work!).
You are his real family but he's also part of the CBF family as well and we are all praying for him in our own way.
Keep hoping and keep being strong for him. Not that you need me to tell you that.

I haven't met Alan, but over the years have enjoyed his banter on this forum. My thoughts and prayers are with him and with his family.

Thoughts and prayers for Alan and his family. A great guy who is well known and liked as you can see from these pages. Was talking to his family last night and there seems to be no change. Keep your chin up boys and never give up hope x

Great idea. I won't be there but will watch it here and be cheering for Alan's team (sorry Tinx).

hi everyone, I just wanted to update you all, my dad passed away peacefully in his sleep this morning. the last time I saw him yesterday I told him how his thread was 9 pages long, and how scunner had updated the tag line to praying for alan, i told him about highlander and everyone being how youve all been and even though the doctors said he would never move again he opened his eyes and tried to lift forward, he knew what i was saying and he died knowing truely how many people were his friends.
I speak for myself grant and mitchell, but most importantly when i say my dad, he wouldnt want you all being upset, he got himself better five years ago and never looked back, he met so many wonderful people and he waited until after city won last night in dawn beach, a fitting memory if ever i can think of one, my dad even said last year if city won the premiership he could die happy, and they did!!!! anyone who knew him have a drink for him, dont be too upset as he would have wanted to be remembered for who he was and not what happened in the end.
I am truely sorry that i didnt meet more of you, thankfully i got to meet laffa, anne, highlander, rindaloo and so many others, and as i said before I felt like I knew the rest, dad thought the world of scunner, keith and the rest of you,
I was talking to a friend yesterday and I said how while i may not be the most religious person in the world the positive energy I felt from this forum was like a wave of something I cant describe, it made things so much easier to know you were all there.
thankyou, youve all been amazing xx
-
Devastating news Guy. Brenda and I send our deepest condolences.
Alan is as peace now and for that we are grateful.
Another star in the heavens today.
-
Our condolences too. However, it seems Alan had a good and happy life doing all the things he wanted to particulary his time in Calis and how wonderful he saw his team win. So now his family and friends can celebrate his life.
-
Sending you boys our deepest condolences and much love.
-
Our deepest sympathies. He was a lucky man to be so happy with his lot and you boys were so lucky to have him for your dad. Rest in peace.
-
Our condolences too. I never met Alan but read his posts on here with interest. This thread shows how well liked & loved he was and you can take some comfort in that. It was obvious he was a great father to you and a great friend to many.
-
I'll still have that beer we arranged to have in 4 weeks time!
Condolences to his family.
RIP Alan!
-
Bye-bye Alan, sleep tight xXx
-
Will certainly raise a glass or two tonight in Alan's memory, RIP Number 2.

With Guy's sad news I will now lock this topic and refer friends and members to the book of condolences here:
