RIP Bobby Fulton

[wedgetail eagle]

Can’t believe it.
In 1970 I had a pack of Scanlon’s footy cards.
Bob Fulton was my favourite card, which is why I follow Manly today.
Sad news, indeed.

Condolences to all his family.

A massive loss to the rugby League world.

Very sad news.

RIP BOZO Beautiful person possibly the greatest football player to ever lace on a boot deepest condolences and sympathy to his family

 

[HoldenV8]

While I hope that Des and the boys use this as motivation to rip in and win today ... given the circumstances of losing Bozo, this is one game I would actually forgive them if they weren't switched on.

Shocked to hear this news after coming hone from junior footy. On such a sad day a glimmer of light for me is its given me the chance to share with my kids this legends achievements both as a player and coach for our club - something I’d never thought to do. Condolences to his family. Rip you legend and thank you for the enormous contributions to our great club. Gone but will never be forgotten. Legends never die.

And to our Bozo, hope you are managing ok brother. We all know what this legend meant to you.

Bob Fulton was the best of his day, best of his era and will remain the best player of all time.

I say this in seeing all three GF wins.

I don't think Bobbie will be resting today as he will be playing in the Heaven Cup at 5/8 as Jesus has moved to centre to play alongside.

My heartfelt condolences to the family.

RIP Bob. Great footballer.

RIP to the great man. Terrible loss for the entire RL community, Manly and his family and friends. Deep condolences. Bozo went too early. Life is often unfair and too short. Shocked.

I recently woke up from night shift to this news
Hoping that it was a bad dream

Bozo was my inspiration and as a kid he was my hero and everything that kids dreams are made of

He was the Greatest I have ever seen . The Maradona of Soccer The Michel Jordan of Basketball
He was the Incomparable Immortal of Rugby League and he was the reason I love Manly

Condolences to his family and our Manly family for his passing at such a young age

The Incomparable Immortal Bob Fulton has gone from our sights but he will for ever keep living in our Legendary clubs proud History

Have a good day every one and keep happy and look after your selves because life is short

Very well stated, but entirely unsurprising. You always afforded the man the respect he deserves.

Along with Bozo's family i expect Arko too must be particularly devastated at the news. Condolences to all.

A heart breaking day for our club and code. R.I.P Bozo, you epitomised everything that our club stands for, unrelenting, dogged, determination, unbelievable skill and will to win, our greatest ever player who put our club on the map, Vale Bobby Fulton you were an absolute star!!

 

[Budgie]

Along with Bozo's family i expect Arko too must be particularly devastated at the news. Condolences to all.

I thought of Arko straight away. Almost that thing where the greatest tragedy is for your kids to die before you.
Also saw Spud Carroll on Fox. He was completely devastated. Clearly he was much loved by a great many.

I always thought he would be there to step in and coach the team if required.

 

[Jay Eagle]

A part of Manly died today.. may we all rejoice in his mark that he has left MWSE .. condolences to his family and may every player that pulls on the mighty maroon and white jersey be blessed to have a little bit of bozo skill, determination and will to win bestowed upon them... fly high Bob

 

[Bill Hamilton]

I am gutted, my dad introduced me to Bozo at Brookie when I was 8, I still have his autograph from that day. Bozo was the best footy player I have seen in my life. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and all who knew and loved him. Thanks for the memories Bozo. RIP great man

 

[GuthosHalfBrother]

My condolences. A great loss indeed. A truly great player and legend of the game. My heart goes out to his family. My thought is with you guys. God Bless.

 

[ManlyTragic]

If I know Bozo he would be organising a Manly all stars game against Tommy Raudonikis western suburbs all stars!

I’m guessing Col Pearce is probably the referee.
