I've known Bert for the last 16 years first as a runner who inspired me in the club but mainly as a good friend, I've spent many hours with him both running and drinking from the Bell, poet's, shrovetide, Blackpool and Edinburgh. What I do know is Bert always had a honest opinion like it or not, he was funny, encouraging, strong as an ox and bloody stubborn at time's but always there if you wanted anything. Bert will be missed by many and Sunday nights will never be the same, my thoughts are with Denise, Ken and family at this time.
