I can only echo what i have read on this thread, i am still in a state of shock and confusion.
Those of you that didn't have a chance to meet him missed out but from his posts on UTS and the comments on here you all can get a measure of the man.
I'm not embarrassed to say i'll miss him a lot - Matchdays, especially, won't be the same.

I never met the guy but will say this.......there are but a handful of people on this board whose posts I ALWAYS read...because they make valid points, they're interesting, they're concise, intelligent, sometimes amusing, sometimes poignant, always well thought out.......for me, Joly was one of those. He'll be sadly missed :cry:
The tributes and memories posted here by those who did know him well bear testimony to an obviously quite remarkable individual. The world's a poorer place for the passing of such a person at SUCH a young age.
RIP

I've been away from the forum since after the match on tuesday and when I read this I couldn't believe it...
My thoughts go out to his family, friends and all that have the privilege to meet him.
I dont know if heavy metal was Jolys cup of tea but I still feel like quoting an Iron Maiden song..
"Only the good die young"

"You don't get to choose how you're going to die, or when. You can only decide how you are going to live" (Joan Baez)
Joly decided to live his life with a smile on his face, and to try and put a smile on everyone elses. I think the moving and poignant postings on here prove that he managed it.
RIP Joly.

I never had the priviledge of meeting Joly, but I do recognise him from the match. Reading through the tributes you could not wish to meet a nicer fella, and a truer saddler. I have read many of his post's and it's still quite unbelieable - a tradegy.
My though's are with his family, friends.
R.I.P Oliver you will never be far from our thoughts.
