Zorrro Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 A very familiar face around Latics. Real shame. His mam was my boss in my last job in Oldham before leaving for London. Lovely folk, genuinely gutted for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajw65 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Lovely, genuine gentle guy!! I played football with him at Hopwood Hall every Monday night. Will be very sadly missed. I will definately join in with a minutes applause tomorrow. RIP Dave - and massive condolances to his family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I've known Dave for many years and I spoke to him at the last home game. He had a dry sense of humour and he was as great a bloke as you could hope to meet. At half-time he always stood above the stairwell leading from the Chaddy towards where the betting office used to be, together with his mates, including OWTB Members dave_ragg1984 and boundaryblue80. He was at my birthday celebration last year and I am very thankful and honoured to have been able to call him my friend. He will be greatly missed, and Mrs Sideburns and I will be joining in the applause tomorrow.. In the interest of helping people to identify him, I'm posting a link to a site of very special significance to his family, in which Dave can be seen in the fourth picture after those at the top of the page.http://joshuaseville.com/tributes/ R.I.P.

dave_ragg1984 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Dave was a great bloke. Top Latics fan and top friend. Was shocked when I heard the news earlier this week. Its going to take some getting used to, going in WH before the game and not being able to have a pint with him, or going over to chat to the lads at HT and Sev not being there. He will be missed massively. Thoughts are with his wife and family. R.I.P. Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave. Thanks for that link Terry, he sounded like one of those guys you've seen a thousand times and maybe talked a bit of bollocks with in the pie queue or random pub, and so it is with me. Part of the Latics family, I hope his closest enjoy their celebration, and also don't take anything bad from it that some folk just won't be aware of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Chorley Oldham @ChorleyOAFC 1h Turns out I've sat next to Dave Seville for the last few seasons. Once kicked me out of 'his' seat at a JPT game. Now I know why. RIP #oafc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolatic Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 As far as I know, I never met Dave, but that doesn't diminish the loss that you feel when someone you may possibly have spoken to passes away. RIP Dave and deepest condolences to your family Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porkpie_blue Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Rest in peace Dave. Happy memories playing five a side at the Clayton Arm indoor sports hall many moons ago. It was always good to talk with him on my now rare visits to BP/white heart pub pre-match. Gone but not forgotten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lalalajpkalala Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) I read this news last night on here. Thanks to those who posted. I can't say I knew Dave other than to say hello to, but he's of a similar generation of fans to my dad and knew him much better. They'd always say hello and catch up with each other when they saw one another at games having been on many a booze bus together for many, many years. They also played 5 a side at the Clayton Arms back in the 90s on a weekly basis (I imagine porkpie_blue above is referring to exactly the same group of lads!). I sent the link to this page to my dad this morning who replied "Awful news. Such a nice, humble bloke." Best wishes to those closest to him. We'll be thinking of you today.

longtimeblue Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 R.I.P. Didn't know David personally but that's no age and it's always sad when you hear of the passing of a fellow Blue. Sincere condolences to his friends and family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_R Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 The minutes applause went really well and was a fitting tribute to a top bloke. It was also a lovely touch from Lee Johnson to present Carol with a bunch of flowers before the game. It's times like this it makes you proud to be a Latics fan. I am also proud to have had a mate in Dave for many years.I'm really going to miss sharing a pre match and post match drink every home game,the away trips, his dry sense of humour and his company in general. My thoughts are with Carol and his family. RIP Dave, you'll never be forgotten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) I’ve heard from Frankfurt that next weekend, Dave will be included in a toast and a moment of silence & memoriam, together with the (all too many) Latics/Eintracht community good friends, who now follow our activities from the ‘big main stand’. Dave is in the centre, looking sideways, when meeting up with the Eintracht fans in Newport, before Latics played at Cardiff in the F.A. Cup in 1998. The lad in the white shirt is Clemens Vesely, who died in January. Edited September 30, 2014 by Diego_Sideburns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego_Sideburns Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 From the Chron: On his way to the cemetery yesterday, Dave was driven the length of Sheepfoot Lane and Furtherwood Road, and as Dave and the mourners passed BP, all the staff lined the roadside and applauded. It was a moving gesture that once again sets the Club apart from the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUMAX Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Sad to have to say I knew both Daves reasonably well,Dave Seville through Latics and having both gone to the same gym 30 odd years ago.We also had kids on special care at the same time and it was touching to hear Carol today talk about Dave being re-united with Joshua which has given the family some strength. Knew Dave Casey through Latics, Cricket bands and general socialising, not to mention a lot of mutual friends as also was the case with Dave Sev. The Barnsley win was for both of them on the night!
