Hi Lads..


It is with sadness that I tell you that Burley Hurley passed away peacefully this morning, surrounded by his loving family after his battle against cancer. Mrs Burley would also like me to pass on a huge thank you for the support and flowers she has received. I personally am going to miss this man so much, getting to know him was like finding a long lost brother.


Mrs Burley has his login details for here so if you want to send a private PM then do so, it will be appreciated. I am still taking all of this in so on behalf of Burley Hurley I will say a big thanks for many years of banter with a set of great lads.


Stay safe all and thanks..

RIP you wonderful man..

Utterly devastating news. RIP Burly. You were a great man and a great poster. There will be plenty of Guinness and wedding cake up in heaven for you!

I’m trying to find solace hearing that he passed away peacefully, it is the least the man deserved for being such a kind and caring man. He’s gone too soon, but he has left a big impression on all of us, a man who never shyed away from speaking his mind but always in a controlled and respectable manner. I didn’t have to meet him to realise just how much he meant to some of you and to his family and friends, although I wish I had met him.

I’m not good with grief and saying the right things, to console people but Mrs Burley if and when you do get round to reading these posts, I am truly thankful to you for allowing him to spend endless nights talking rubbish with us on here. I hope you and your family find the strength to get through this difficult time.

May your loving husband, and our friend Rest In Peace. My condolences to all of his family and friends, a wonderful person has left us and none of us will ever forget Blunham Mackem.

Thank you for letting us know Joe X

Am actually fighting back the tears here at work reading this.

Mrs Burly - I met Mr Burly only the once (wish it was more) but spoke a few times on the phone and in private messages regularly when us mods had important stuff to partake in - My thoughts are with you and his entire family. Always one of my favourite posters on here and we look forward to meeting you gooners in a few years.

I'll be raising a glass for him tonight before the match and be part of the get-together (all being well) in February. He will be missed by all of us but we won't let his life go without giving him a send off he deserves.

Don't venture on your boards much lads. Just wanted to give condolences to all that knew the great fella we called burly.

Never met the man but felt like I knew him just from chatting on the premier league board.

Truly was a nice fella.
