I know this isn't CCFC related but didn't want this thread to get lost on a lesser used area of the forum. It's a sad sad day. RIP and most of all thank you Nelson

shy_tall_knight · Dec 5, 2013

I remember the day he was released it was a Sunday watched it on TV before heading to Forest for the first leg of the league cup semi lost 2-1.

Yes very sad but expected. Nelson is a true inspiration.

I remember where I was when he was released from prison. I was staying in Nottingham before league cup semi v Forest.
In a nightclub I asked for "Free Nelson Mandela" record. The DJ to his shame said "we dont play that sort of thing here".

Nelson thank you.

That's a very odd comparison. Surely you should save that one for when Garry glitter pops his clogs.

Remember going to University in the 70's and wondering who this guy was, that the "Mandela Bar" in the Students' Union was named after.

An amazing inspirational man.

RIP.

busters lol I remember it well

nelson ... Was a legend , inspiration and a modern day saint... We've all lost a good one there

SkyblueBazza · Dec 5, 2013

Yup...respect & RIP

play_in_skyblue_stripes · Dec 5, 2013

Gosh Busters that was some place in its day.

I visited Nelsons house in Soweto and the anti apartheid museum. Shocking regime.

An incredibly dignified man to led the country afterwards without taking reprisals against his "enemies".

it was a "where were you" comparison. I wont be likley to remember tonight and how shocked I was, compared to when i found out about Jacko. Perhaps I worded it wrong, I wasn't saying they were equally worthy, just responding to the OP "where were you" comment

ajsccfc · Dec 5, 2013

You didn't word it wrong, I got what you meant.

Samo · Dec 5, 2013

IMO one of the finest human beings ever to have drawn breath. RIP

shy_tall_knight · Dec 5, 2013

When jacko died there were loads of jokes within minutes, his lifestyle ensured thatthere wasdisrespect from many,

ccfcway · Dec 5, 2013

how bizarre that "long walk to freedom" had it premiere tonight in london !

Sky blue north east · Dec 5, 2013

Not being funny but who is he as he was 95 guess he was a legend sky blue player long before my time thought i knew all our legends but sorry for missing nelson, anyway thanks nelson sure you was a TRUE sky blue LEGEND R.I.P

ajsccfc · Dec 5, 2013

I can't work out if that's a terrible joke or really unfortunate stupidity.

wingy · Dec 6, 2013

Just about up there with Gandhi.IMO R.I.P.

Nick · Dec 6, 2013

Can anybody sum up everything he did in a nutshell for the young ones?

derbyskyblue · Dec 6, 2013

A great man. RIP

fernandopartridge · Dec 6, 2013

RIP. The only thing for me is the nauseating patronising drivel we'll get from modern day politicians who aren't fit to lace his boots.

Houchens Head · Dec 6, 2013

I guess I'm a cynical old bastard, but I just can't get all morose about it. He was 95! Not exactly unexpected was it? And it's a shame about his pet dog, Rip, as well.

News at 10 for a few yea.......

Shite, wrong bloke. He was basically the main man behind the anti apartheid movement in Africa.

I guess you've not looked at Sickipedia tonight then. Less than 5 minutes, I reckon.

ajsccfc · Dec 6, 2013

Like the obituaries, the jokes would have been sat in the 'pending' pile waiting for today.

Hobo · Dec 6, 2013

An inspirstional man

ccfcdan · Dec 6, 2013

RIP - I loved him in Shawshank Redemption. A true legend.

he fought racism through peaceful means, and won, 27 years in prison, a true inspiration.

mrtrench · Dec 6, 2013

There is a short documentary here for anyone who doesn't know about this incredible man.

Nelson Mandela opposed the domination of one group of people over another. He was steadfast in campaigning for equal rights. A great man has departed.

letsallsingtogether · Dec 6, 2013

We named our cat nelson after him
