Gordon Mockles Posted 17 November, 2009 Share Posted 17 November, 2009 has cancer, apparently http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8363705.stm Poor guy. (Mods I thought this was pertinent to the Saints page, given his non-interest in us but please move to an appropriate venue if necessary). Very sad, especially pertinent after similar news for my own father (who has a short timescale due to his condition). My heart goes out to Paul, his family and friends. Good luck!

trousers Posted 17 November, 2009 Share Posted 17 November, 2009 has cancer, apparently http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8363705.stm Poor guy. (Mods I thought this was pertinent to the Saints page, given his non-interest in us but please move to an appropriate venue if necessary). Sad news indeed. His 'involvement' in Saints c.April/May 2007 is a period of Saints history that will stay with me for a long time - many a happy evening hunting down his boats and planes! And, from what Cortese said in the press a few months ago, it was the Allen 'story' that first alerted him to our football club. So, in a small, indirect, 'butterfly in bangkok' way, mr Allen helped saved our club. Good luck Sir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRobbie Posted 18 November, 2009 Share Posted 18 November, 2009 (edited) Poor chap, definitely one to discuss on this forum. Whether he intended to buy Saints or not, for a short period he provided some badly needed hope and optimism in dark dark days.

Good luck Sir Good call on the chaos theory and I echo your good wishes to Paul Allen and smile at the unintentional and indirect role he had in bringing ML to the club. BTW how do you know Butterfly in Bangkok? She/he said she was mine and mine alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Mikie Posted 18 November, 2009 Share Posted 18 November, 2009 I've never met him, but have worked on his yachts. He did have a massive passion for diving and has kitted out his boats accordingly. Unfortunately his illness has prevented all this in recent years, so I do wish him well and hope he can beat the cancer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 18 November, 2009 Share Posted 18 November, 2009 I've never met him, but have worked on his yachts. Now you tell me! Could have done with that info 2 years ago! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Munster Posted 18 November, 2009 Share Posted 18 November, 2009 Yes having loads of money is OK but having good health is probably better. Hope Paul gets better soon but pleased he did not take us over Health is wealth. Corny, but so true. God bless anyone with any type of cancer.

derry Posted 18 November, 2009 Share Posted 18 November, 2009 God, it is so common now, one of our friends died last month with liver cancer and three of my wife's friends have been diagnosed last month, 2 with breast cancer and the other with ovarian and lymph node etc. It is so sad. The only advantage he has, is his wealth gives him the best chance possible. Best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Mikie Posted 19 November, 2009 Share Posted 19 November, 2009 Now you tell me! Could have done with that info 2 years ago! ;-) I'm afraid I only did some work on his yachts. Had no control over his bank account!! God how I tried dropping hints when I was onboard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
