He was the founder of this board (hence Bob's Board). I believe he passed away some years ago of Motor Neurone disease, so the board was re-named as a memorial to him. He was very active in the (much smaller) online community we had back in the mid-late 90's and early 2000's (Anyone remember the SpireNet mailing list? Jesus - I am showing my age)

I think I know one of them - I'll give 'em a nudge.
I didn't realise that.
He started this message board didn't he?
Edit: Just seen the above post, sorry

I thought he started this forum after the demise of the previous forum.
I then I thought he got the huff about something, left and it just remained under his name

It was great - I was a Uni student on placement, and set it up to send emails to my work account. Gave me something to read throughout the day (instead of mails from people moaning about CICS and MQSeries) although as you got everything, it could be a chore to wade through everything when it was busy (regularly). It's a shame its not archived anywhere as, like the history of this board, it would be interesting to have a read through again.

I kept them all but then burned out a hard drive. I wanted to use them as an account of public perceptions of the Darren Brown era. On the day the FA came calling there were well over a hundred emails!

Spirenet was great with good old Mike Granby winding everyone up. Wonder if he posts on here. Only a few years previously (not living in chesterfield) I was relying on ceefax, sunday paper and "shoot" match reports, and Derbyshire times clippings posted to me by my mum for news. Didn't know half the players names for weeks at a time or where they came from. We take all this info for granted now, and are so demanding.
BTW if I was still relying on Derbyshire Times for info I would have a very different picture of our club
